read a couple of old threads about these lambdas as i am looking for one (well, i know where i can get one, i just want to get the best price of course). it reads in places that its a subaru OEM part, is this the case?
see some of you can get hold of them anyway, how much can you guys get one for?
cheers,

I have just bought one from info@lambdasensor.com
I have looked around and found these to be the cheapest.

If you just quote the part no: 0 258 104 002

I found that the guy I was speaking to was very helpful,
He is not sure if they have in stock yet but will be checking on monday.

It is not an item many people have in stock I asked a few.

I was told by a fuel injection engineer that the Bosch lambda sensors are not as good as the Japanese (NTK?) sensor, he said he regularly swaps out the Bosch sensor normally fitted to European cars for the same make as most Japanese cars as they are generally more accurate and more relaible.

I don't know how true this is, but the guy deals with this stuff every day so I have no reason to doubt him.

well they never even bothered getting back to me. the only ntk i was considering was the 5 wire real wide band job. but its too much money (just bought a rollcage too, so got even less of the stuff now )
its just to hook up to my MBE setup and make sure everything is kosher, £130 is quite a lot for that, but the standard ones are useless apart from taking an idle AFR reading

also, this bosch sensor is unlike any of the others they produce, its used in motorsport quite a lot too for mapping, runs 0-1v still but is far more accurate where you need it (0.8-0.95v)

I actually got in touch with the guy specifically to buy an lsm11 from him as I thought my lambda sensor was on it's way out. He looked at me as if I was mad, even when I gave him my reasons. He also verbally slapped me for wanting to spend money on changing the sensor without having it checked by an expert. My lambda sensor was fine and it didn't cost me a penny to find out

I'm not saying that the info about the LSM11 is wrong, just passing on what happened to me.

strange, he complimented me on a fine choice of sensor LOL
i dont run a sensor at the mo as i was given a base map for my engine, but now i wanna do more mods its a must. hence i need an accurate sensor.
