Bosch Oxygen Sensor Replacement
You've been having a number of problems lately, and it sounds like you've got an oxygen sensor that's gone bad. When residue and ash build up on your sensor, it gives readings that indicate a leaner fuel mixture than is actually the case, so your engine tries to compensate, and that means you're running way too rich. It also makes you run hot, and you've got to take care of this, because if you toast your catalytic converter, that's a much more expensive repair. It doesn't make sen...se to get anything but a genuine Bosch Oxygen Sensor, because this is the pioneering company that introduced the first sensor in 1976, and as emission control and engine management technology has evolved, they've always stayed on the cutting edge. That's why they remain the leading brand, because they know how to make this part right. A genuine Bosch Oxygen Sensor has a zirconium ceramic bulb that's coated with platinum, and this construction allows it to read the oxygen content of your exhaust by generating different voltages when there's more or less oxygen. Your car's computer chip is kept informed of the situation, and it adjusts your mixture to give you the best fuel economy and performance at every moment. Auto parts buyers deserve excellent assistance while purchasing good quality car parts. To help you get that, we've established a 24/7 service bureau to aid you with your calls. Nobody likes to pay for shipping, so we always provide 100% free shipping for each order at least $50. If you spot a better price somewhere else, give us a call - we always beat any advertised price for auto parts.

Whatever type of automobile you are driving, vehicle performance will always be a priority that's second to safety. If all of a sudden, you notice a decrease in your vehicle's fuel efficiency and power, you might want to look under the hood to inspect your oxygen sensor. We know that looking for an O2 sensor doesn't rock your socks, so we did the searching and the testing for you. We installed the Bosch oxygen sensor on our '97 Ford Ranger, and here's what we found out.
Features
- 26-inch wire
- Heated sensor
- Planar-type design
- With submersible patented connection system
- With posi-lock connectors
- Individually sold
What we liked
- Installation was a breeze. After we've spliced the wires, we were able to bed in the O2 sensor easily. Despite the minor modification, we were able to complete the installation in less than an hour.
- Connecting the wirings is very straightforward. We matched the universal connector wires with no problem at all.
- Compared with other oxygen sensors of the same type, this one from Bosch is relatively inexpensive. The price is much lower than what you'd pay for with other brands.
- The part comes with posi-lock connectors that make splicing wires into the harness connector a lot easier.
- The submersible-patented connection system helps the sensor withstand extreme temperatures.
- The part is widely available. You can easily find a Bosch oxygen sensor replacement online or in any local auto parts store. With plenty of options to choose from, you will surely find an O2 sensor that's a perfect fit for your vehicle.
What we didn't like
- We had to splice the wires before we could install the sensor. It's not that of a big deal, since the task took only a couple of minutes to finish. If you know how to use a soldering iron and to splice wires, then installing this O2 sensor shouldn't be a problem. However, a direct plug-in feature would be great especially for those who are not so adept at tackling vehicle wirings.
Our final say
Despite the need for slight modification, the Bosch oxygen sensor is an excellent stock replacement for worn-out O2 sensors. With its inexpensive price tag and exceptional performance, this oxygen sensor is worth every single dollar. We appreciate how it resuscitated the life back into our trusted workhorse that is the '97 Ford Ranger.
