Anyone used a Bosh universal O2 sensor?
So I've discovered my o2 sensor is dead and went to the dealership to pick up a new one, man are they ever proud of those.. $365.00 WTF!!! I told em they can keep that SH**!
Well I went by Napa and they have a bosh for about $268 ( The guy behind the counter assumed bosh probably makes the oem part and its probably the same.. can anyone confirm?) and a Bosh universal for $68. I want to know has anyone used the universal with any success? I was talking with Chris from Mellon tuning and he said some people have had problems with aftermarket O2 sensors. Now I'll drop the cash if I have to but man I sure would love for a few people to tell me its the same O2 sensor and i just have to wire it in. If it can work and be logged on Evoscan I'll be a happy camper.

I had to replace my rear O2 sensor when changing my exhaust (stock one was cross-threaded from the factory) so I just went to the local auto store and asked for the cheapest 4-wire O2 sensor. The Bosch universal seems about similar in price, so that's probably an easier way to go.

I've purchased replacement O2 sensors from this site and you can even get them with the plug on the end of them so they connect right into the harnesses instead of having to splice them. They work well.
