Where to purchase lambda sensor

Post by **FazS3** » Fri Dec 07, 2012 3:17 pm

Hi Guys,

Seems like 2 of my lambda sensors are knackered, im after b1 s1 and b2 s2. Part number 1k0 998 262 AA and 022 906 262 BQ, where you guys recommend buying them from, seems like tps is the best bet.

GSF or eurocar parts only do 1k0 998 262 aa as a bosch part!

Any advice welcome

Audi 022 906 262 BQ
is available from Bosch but they only have them in Germany - if they could be arsed they could order them specially for you on a 24 hour VOR delivery
Bosch number is 0258006835 (4 pin - Brown Plug - Cylinders 5-8 - Post Cat)
How do you know their knackered - ive been looking in to these too and was going to replace all of mine

Just one, they had to drop gear box out to get to it, plus they could not find in time for the £75 consultation fee to they charged me another! STEELERS!!

So who should I contact Bosch directly ?

Wow. The lambda connector is on top of the gearbox and awkward to get to but very surprised they needed to drop the box. I replaced one but had the cats off at the time which made it easier. Plus a double diagnostics fee .. Robbing sods!

Ergo, they're called Stealers.

You need a direct account
I have one
I'll double check the cost but I bet I can supply them for £70 delivered to you
Genuine Bosch

They are a bitch to change too, probably will need a lambda socket to do the job

What symptoms are you having with the car - I'm having a bit of hesitancy when cold
Had a fault come up on vcds????
