Default save money by getting the Bosch generic

and attach your old connector to the new sensor. Just be careful, depending on which year and model you have, the part numbers they suggest are wrong. I struggled for a long time with my car. The book said that the front and back sensor were different numbers but in the end they were the same. I just can't remember if I ended up with 2 fronts or rears.

Did it throw a lean code or you just looked at your lambda values?

Default I did a 3rd gear wot run up to 6500rpm and the lambda values were in the range of 0.735

and the spec value was the same. I never got any lean codes as of yet. Only the intermittent oxygen sensor code.
