bump for this guy.
$199 or $59 for the same o2 sensor?????
I need to replace my primary o2 sensor and someone recomended me Bosch because is a well know brand..... But they have the whole sensor just to plug in for $199 and the exact same one but is only the sensor and you have to use the same connector u already have and do all the wiring your self for $59......
What do U guys think?????, is it worth it saving almost $150 on this thing by doing the wiring your self????? Im pretty confident with connectin wires and shit, but I dont want to have any problems in the long run....... Anyone that has done it before, what was your experience???????

just a good rule of thumb u get what you pay for.
It really depends on your skills 2. Do you know how to do wiring...
i have the $59 dollar one for sale if you want it. $40 plus shipping.
Never used, went to install it on my car but it was incompatible because I had an aftermarket sensor on it and no wiring diagram.

there was someone on the forum selling oem front o2 sensors for pretty cheap search I got mine from him, hes a great seller
Be a man and wire it yourself :thumbsup: As long as the wire colors are the same. If not, I don't know how someone would know which wire connects to which.
It's not hard to rewire this kind of stuff. Just solder it for a good connection and then use the heat shrink tubing over top of that. Then some tape over that if you want even more protection. You can get a soldering gun and solder really cheap and you'll also need a wire stripper. Using scissors or a knife works okay, but it definitely isn't the best way to do it.

Well I think you can do it. Do it and get back with out if it works. I hope it does. I just spend almost 200 bucks because that was my first time replacing it after 84K miles. Good luck!Here is the website that I was looking at.....

It's hard to believe you're getting the same o2 sensor, without a connector, for $140 discount.:stop: What could that connector cost? $2?
The OEM sensor is a very fast-acting sensor. The ECU can tell which cylinder is misfiring (if a cylinder is misfiring) because of the quick o2 sensor. I could be wrong, but I've always thought that the high cost for the OEM sensor was for the speed.

Do the right thing and buy the Denso one. (p/n 234-9005)
It's ~$200 from sparkplugs.com. That's $100 cheaper than the stealership.

If U think about it, it makes sense..... the sensor itself is universal, most cars use the same one, the difference is the conector and they can mass produce the sensor and will be cheap, but the conector they have to make one for almost every make and model, and the less number you produce the more expensibe it will be the final cost of each piece........It's hard to believe you're getting the same o2 sensor, without a connector, for $140 discount.:stop: What could that connector cost? $2?
My O2 sensor was covered under a extended warranty. Has anyone else had that experience?
^I'm waayyy past any kind of warranties on this car. Something about too many mods :dontknow:
Are you looking for the primary 1st o2 sensor or 2nd sensor cause the $54.00/$59.00 is for after the Cat?
^Both sensors are expensive as shit. The second one is alittle cheaper than the first but not by much.
Yeah.... i just realized that...... Im looking but I thing im gonna have to buy the whole thing..... I cant find a primary sensor that u can wire yourself......
I think I need the primary one, because I replaced the secondary alittle over 8 months ago and dont think it went bad already...... But Im not really sure....
I also checkeed today to see if they where loose or something after I went to the super market, a couple blocks away. I checked it maybe 20 minutes after the trip, and noticed that the sensor closer to the header was cool and the one in the back, the one I replaced 8 months ago was still really hot. Much hotter thant the other one.....
Does that mean anything?????????
