I got this O2 sensor, it has the same fitting just a longer wire that's all.

What brand is the sensor and what are the numbers on it. As they can still look the same just have different specs.

Is this one plug and play?

Does it do the job?

I don't know yet so don't anyone go rushing to buy one, it didn't solve my intermittent over-fuelling issue but I think that's due to other stuff going on like having massive injectors and an emanage and I think a knackered fuel pressure regulator (being replaced soon).
I don't see why it wouldn't do the job, it's just like a universal but with the correct plug on but will know more when I get to the bottom of my issues.

I replaced my o2 sensor with a generic 4 pin one (a Bosch unit) 5,000kms ago and it is useless. The ECU is running in open-loop mode under all conditions (determined with Haltech Interceptor on a dyno), you would get the same result by simply disconnecting the o2 sensor completely. I am getting about 10L/100km fuel consumption.
Dras wrote: I am getting 10L/100km with a non-functioning o2 sensor in traffic. With a 60L tank, 600km would be very achievable. This doesn't prove that your setup functions.

What I am trying to say is that the car functions really quite well in open loop mode, apparently better than with a dirty oem o2 sensor.

Denso's quality of build is a bit ordinary source:http://www.autodata.ru/efisakh/2008/pr6_o2sens_bek.htm (may need Google translate or similar if you don't read Russian)
NTK or Bosch seem to be the way to go.

Universal 4 wire Zirconia o2 sensors seem to come in the following flavours:
Four wire "Thimble" sensor with 12 watt heater, isolated ground
Four wire "Thimble" sensor with 12 watt heater, grounded case
Four wire "Thimble" sensor with 18 watt heater and grounded case
Four wire "Thimble" sensor with 18 watt heater and ground isolated case
Four wire “Planar” construction sensor, 7 watt heater, isolated ground

The Four wire “Planar” construction sensor, 7 watt heater, isolated ground sensors are the ones to go for, for the FTO.
Bosch part number is 0 258 986 602 or LS602.
So as you can see all universal ones are not the same. Our cars require a specific type.

If you could check the numbers on your one Rob, that would be a great help.

Will get under the car and have a look at the new one in a bit.
Just had a look at the old one and it says:
Denso
068500
9821
I think but it's faded and hard to read.

I thought the higher watt heaters just mean they warm up quicker which is good but essentially they output the same?

Maybe you should all just change your coolant temp sensor lol
