OK, so from doing a bit of research the OE part from the stealers is about 120 quid. This, from what i have read, is a bosch part. So I have looked into it and think i have found 2 cheaper but quality Lambda's:

option one, i think this may be the OE part, Bosch with Subaru plug:

Option two, a Bosch universal job (LS02), which means splicing it to the original plug:

Does anyone know if my info here is correct / have any comments on it, I'd rather not pay 120+ for a bosch lambda if i can source it elsewhere.

cheers

denso is OE

 

Never splice the wires as can interfeare with the signal. I'd buy genuine for peace of mind

 

You don't need to splice anything mate, a small terminal screwdriver will release the terminals from the plug, they then slot into the old plug

 

If I ever have to splice anything I solder, this gives a much better connection than plugs. Connection quality wouldn't be an issue.

 

Yea think I will try the ls02 from Bosch cheers mate.

 

What car is it for mate?
I got one for a classic, (blue print) from local motor factors for about £50 , and swapped the plug, they only had a choice of 2 if I remember correctly, 3 or 4 wire

 

O2 sensor wires are coated & won't solder unless the coating is removed which kind of makes the coating pointless. I'm only speaking from experience, after having problems with non OE sensors in the past.

 

P1 mate. will try a 54 quid bosch universal. Will report back on this post in a year or so if it fails!
