Anyone try a Walker 02 sensor?
My rear one seems to be shot and I'm looking for a low cost option to fix this before inspection time. The Walker is $79 shipped. I tried a Bosch Universal 4 wire last year and it kept giving a heating circuit error. I actually tried 2 with the same result. So I'm hesitant to try again.<ul><li><a href="http://www.automedicsupply.com/showpicture.php?&sensor=250-24431">http://www.automedicsupply.com/showpicture.php?&sensor=250-24431</a</li></ul>

I'm just bitter since the VW 02 sensors aren't $25 anymore
and the only reason I lost my rear one was driving around for too long with a cracked cat.

Every other car in my driveway except this POS A4 has NGK sensors
and never had one bit of trouble from them.
Summit was on backorder for the NGK, so I got a Bosch for ~$110 shipped from the same website above.
Can somebody tell me why a Bosch MAF for a Ford is $50 and one for an Audi is $300? I did not think so.
NGK is one of the leading sensor makers in the world.
Of course no one here would ever use one because of the "Only OEM" mantra. O2 sensors are not rocket science! They are by and large nothing but a thermocouple.
Lets face it folks, most of the replacement parts for our cars are being made in Asia now.
