Bosch Oxygen Sensor P/N:16643
Give your engine computer the air-fuel feedback it relies on with the Bosch sensor 11051, a premium switching-type oxygen (O2) sensor cataloged for the upstream position. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1989-1994 Nissan Sentra, 1980-1987 Volkswagen Jetta and 1987-1988 Nissan Pathfinder, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Bosch introduced the original thimble-style oxygen sensor in 1976 and has supplied OE manufacturers for more than 50 years. This switching-type sensor sends air-fuel-ratio readings to the ECU, which uses them for combustion control. It is designed to help reduce emissions across a wide range of operating conditions.
Signs that an upstream oxygen sensor may need replacing include a check engine light, higher fuel consumption, a rough idle or hesitation, and a failed emissions test. Other faults can cause these symptoms, so diagnose the system first. If a worn sensor is the cause, this unit replaces it.
What does the Bosch 11051 oxygen sensor do?
It reads oxygen in the exhaust and sends air-fuel-ratio feedback to the ECU, which uses the signal for combustion control and to help keep emissions in check. It is cataloged for the upstream position.
Does this Bosch O2 sensor fit the 1989-1994 Nissan Sentra?
Yes, it is listed as a direct-fit application for the 1989-1994 Nissan Sentra, 1980-1987 Volkswagen Jetta and 1987-1988 Nissan Pathfinder. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for other vehicles.
How much heat can this sensor handle?
Bosch builds it to withstand exhaust streams up to 1,880°F. It has a stainless steel housing, an advanced ceramic element and TSP coating to resist vibration and corrosion.
Is the sensor easy to install?
It has a direct-fit connector and comes with conductive anti-seize already applied to the threads. Follow the vehicle service information for the removal and installation steps.
What are signs the upstream oxygen sensor may need replacing?
Common signs include a check engine light, poor fuel economy, a rough idle or a failed emissions test. Other faults can cause these too, so diagnose the system before replacing the sensor.
