Bosch 16982 oxygen sensor for the 2002-2004 Volkswagen Jetta V6 2.8L and other vehicles measures the air-fuel ratio in the exhaust. This Bosch O2 sensor passes that reading to the ECU, which uses it to keep combustion stable and help reduce emissions.
- Narrow-band heated switching-type design for air-fuel-ratio feedback to the ECU
- Sensor reaches operating temperature in under 10 seconds for quick closed-loop control
- Sensor withstands exhaust streams up to 1,880°F
- TSP coating resists vibration, corrosion and contamination
- Ceramic elements and heater control for consistent performance under heat and vibration
