Ok so like everyone said it would my sensor **** the bed for my Innovate wide-band. So instead of going threw Innovate to get the sensor I read on a site that the Bosh O2 Sensor for a golf gti 1.8L works and plugs rite in.

Can anyone clarify this?

 

i believe vw uses the same sensor but not sure which model. there's a part # on this ebay listing i saw recently that you might want to check out http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Innov...Q5fAccessories

 

Thanks SC300_704

I also did some research and found you can use these

for reference, the bosch part number is:
0258007057

Bosch US part number is:
17014

and the VW part number is:
021-906-262-B

it is the stock replacement sensor for the following vehicles:

Oxygen Sensor, Before Catalyst, aka the upstream o2 sensor

Audi
TT 2002-2006

Volkswagen
Beetle, Beetle Turbo S 2002-2004
Eurovan 2001-2003
Golf 2000-2001
Golf GTI 1999-2005
Golf GTI 1.8T 2006
Jetta 2005
Jetta GL 2003
Jetta GLS 1999-2004
Jetta GLX 1999-2002
Jetta Wolfsburg Edition 2001

If you just go to your local Autozone or Advance to get the Sensor it will come with a warranty as well.

Also Ive read its the moisture upon O2 sensor heat up that kills it. You should start your car let it idle for a few moments ensuring moisture is gone then turn the sensor on to heat up.

 

awesome, i didn't think autozone sells it but i just checked th site and they carry it in stock where i live at.
