NTK Air / Fuel Ratio Sensor P/N:27018
NGK O2 SENSORS 24321 air / fuel ratio sensor for the 2002-2004 Volkswagen Passat W8 4.0L and other vehicles measures the air-fuel ratio in the exhaust for the engine computer. Unlike a conventional switching sensor that only reports rich or lean, it lets the ECU make continuous, precise adjustments to the air-fuel mixture.
A worn air / fuel ratio sensor can show up as a check engine light, poor fuel economy or rough running, but those signs have other possible sources too. With the engine off and cool, look over the sensor's wiring and connector for damage. A shop scan tool can then confirm whether the sensor is at fault. This listing is one sensor, and each upstream position takes one.
This sensor is listed for a wide range of Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche models, among them the 2005-2011 Audi A6 Quattro V8 4.2L and the 2007-2008 BMW Alpina B7 V8 4.4L. Open the "Vehicles it fits" section to check your exact model and engine.
Fit and size
Build and materials
Does the NGK O2 SENSORS 24321 air / fuel ratio sensor fit the 2005-2011 Audi A6 Quattro V8 4.2L?
Yes. NGK O2 SENSORS 24321 is listed for the 2005-2011 Audi A6 Quattro V8 4.2L, one sensor per application. For other models, open the "Vehicles it fits" section and check your engine.
What hex size does this 5-wire wideband sensor have?
The hex size is 7/8" (22 mm). NGK O2 SENSORS 24321 is a heated 5-wire wideband air / fuel ratio sensor.
Is the NGK O2 SENSORS 24321 an upstream sensor?
Yes. The catalog lists it as upstream, upstream left and upstream right, and each application takes one.
How is a wideband air / fuel ratio sensor different from a regular oxygen sensor?
A conventional oxygen sensor only switches between rich and lean. A wideband sensor gives the ECU a linear signal, so it can see exactly how rich or lean the engine is running.
What testing does this air / fuel ratio sensor go through?
Development includes vibration and thermal shock testing, and the sensor is tested again during manufacturing. Its ceramic element also carries a 3-stage overcoat against contaminants.
