oxygen sensors question

[mik15]

i've started gathering the items which will be replaced when the engine comes out, but i've stumbled on the oxygen sensor as there is no consistency on the information i have found on internet and here as well...

according to Bosch, the p/n for all 4 sensors is 16073...
according to what i've found on the forum the p/n is 16544 for the front ones, and the rear left is Bosch 16069 and rear right is Bosch 16067...
according to ETKA the p/n for all 4 is 1K0998262AB....

i am confused now and don't want to order before i am sure that it is the right part! I have the 16073 for $99/piece, which seems to be a good price but i don't wanna pull the trigger yet until i'm sure! Could someone please help on this matter??

Thanks a lot!

I have ordered the O2's using that Bosch part number (16073) and that same exact price for my 2.8 avant. I can tell you first hand that the connectors will not mate up to the stock harness w/o modification (read "cutting out the key way") or swapping out the stock harness with the extra piece thats included.

I didn't mind modifying the sensors for the 2.8, but would never consider that as an option for my RS.

i definitely don't want to cut to stock harness...i've rather pay the extra $30/sensor and get the OEM ones from genuineaudiparts.com...i don't like either these kind of improvisations to my car,i thought that the Bosch ones are plug&play just like the original ones!

Bosch won't fit? This is cheapest I found. Just need verification they are all correct before I pull the trigger...

the ones listed for $69 and $75 aren't Bosch, i've emailed them asking them to confirm whether the parts are genuine Bosch or not, of course they're not, as i suspected! The EGT's i got them both for $350, OEM, as there aren't any others! This is the p/n for the EGT set: 077998124 !

[repda503]

$350 for both? Tell me your secrets. Links or it didn't happen :)

i bought it from Europe and since i am paying for them with a credit card linked to an address out of European Union and also have it shipped out of EU, i do not pay the taxes, with taxes the price would've been $400 plus shipping...anyway, genuineaudiparts has them for $460! This is the site i bought it from: www.hcsale.com (http://www.hcsale.com), it's a Dutch company.

This is correct:
"according to Bosch, the p/n for all 4 sensors is 16073...
according to what i've found on the forum the p/n is 16544 for the front ones, and the rear left is Bosch 16069 and rear right is Bosch 16067..."
Cheapest I found was either to do an Amazon search or to also try http://www.autohausaz.com/audi-auto-parts/index.html

I know this is an old thread but part numbers are always changing. I don't want to run a 66 inch cord for the front oxygen sensors which bosch(16073) offers for all four sensors. I found Bosch 16287 which says fits direct. For all the belt driven v8s. Says cord is 24 in. I'm curious if anyone knows if that is long enough. I believe oe factory is 34 in. Does anyone know what works for the upstreams as far as length?
