I'm getting a code for the rear O2 sensor. Question is, do I really need to get the bosch?

Anyone have experience using a generic sensor that works for the 2005 S40?

I understand that the bosch are direct OEM but there are 'generics' out there that could do the job also.

Need advice on the generics is you have used them.

 

Seriously, 43 views and not a single response?

 

Well I would say go OEM but I'm not really sure if generic O2 would work out so great...

 

About $100 difference in price. Same warranty. Just wanted to hear some feedback on generic users

 

Not sure i will get anyone to admit that they use or have used a generic part.

 

I always thought the Bosch was the generic one. You find it everywhere and for fairly cheap. It's what I used on my 2001. I bet the rebranded ones the dealer sells are made by Bosch. (Like Johnson Controls makes batteries for everyone but with a different brand name) Even my Innovate LC-1 wide-band O2 sensor is made by Bosch.
