- Metal housing and TSP coating to resist vibration, corrosion and contamination
- Built to withstand exhaust streams up to 1,880°F
- Reaches operating temperature in under 10 seconds for quick closed-loop control and cold-start performance
- Ceramic element and optimized heater control for consistent readings under harsh thermal and vibration loads
Quick facts

A check engine light, rough running or poor fuel economy can mean an oxygen sensor is wearing out. These signs alone do not prove the sensor is the problem, since an exhaust leak near the sensor can throw off its readings too.
Fits
It is listed for a wide range of Volkswagen and Audi models, led by the 2015-2018 Audi A3 Quattro 4-cylinder 2.0L and the 2016-2018 Audi TT Quattro 4-cylinder 2.0L, besides the car in the first sentence. If your car is not one of these, look it up by year and engine in the "Vehicles it fits" section before you order.
