Oxygen sensor for a Chevy = $20 Oxygen sensor for an Audi = $150 !!!!! They look the same. Most sensors have a Zirconia element and operate between 0 and 1 volt. Does anyone know of a cross-reference between Audi parts and the more reasonable priced parts available at the local auto parts store?
From:
A. NO. There are five fundamentally different types of oxygen sensors: unheated thimble, heated thimble, planar, wide-band and titania. Within each sensor type, sensors vary in the design of the ceramic element, heater element and protection tube design, all of which affect sensor operation."
I guess I have an Heated Thimble on my 83 Audi 4000S, a Heated Thimble on my
91 Passat, and a Titania on my 88 Cherokee engine. Now I only need two more to complete my 5! lolBTW the website above has a link for instructions on how to install a universal 02 sensor and also a Vehicle Part Finder link to find the univeral
02 sensorlater, dave
I just recently replaced my O2 sensor. 96 S6 sensor $150 canadian. O2 sensor from 86 Mustang $45 canadian. Just had to snip off connector and splice wires.

96 S6Try to find an equivalent VW part. For an A4, go to a VW dealer and buy part number 06A 906 262 Q, it's about $25 and plugs right in.
