After a new lambda and don't want to pay £80 on a BOSCH replacement. Anyone had any good history with aftermarket replacements (MHK10004?).

 

if so how long they last or is it worth me buying the BOSCH part (0 258 003 193)

 

Thanks,

First check would be sure that you need one..... Plenty of folks have changed these on a feeling rather than the fact that the cell is deteriorated.
Assuming you do and it's not the wiring, I would buy a Bosch and not a copy.

thanks for the reply, I've had the car on a diagnostics and everything is perfect other than the lambda voltage wont drop any lower than 0.6v. when warming up the voltage is flickering between 0.6v and 1.2v. when hot it doesn't drop any voltage so I'm replacing with new. I have, since posting I have read up on a few older topics and opted to order the BOSCH replacement. has cost double but should give me a pass through the emissions.

Eurocarparts seem to have the Bosch sensor in stock with the correct connection and 25% discount code this weekend. Worth a look?
