Which type of o2 sensor?

[VYMAD]

I just rang a few auto parts places to get a price on o2 sensors.
Autobarn: $100 each (forget which brand)
Supercheap: GBC $95.90 TRIDON: $80.95 each
Repco: Bosch $104 each
Holden: $205.10, yes that's each and the bloke "thought" that was for Delco.

Which brands are good brands? Any pos/neg feedback please.

Im not sure about what brands are good/bad but if your not in a real hurry you can get bosch or NTK ones of ebay for about half that price.

Thanks BW but I have never bought from EBAY and am not ready to start now, no credit card, etc. I don't mind paying retail, as long as not from Holden, and I know what brand is worth getting.

[VYMAD]

Bump.... Any thoughts/experience on good or bad brands or are they all much the same?

[Philthy]

Pretty sure it was Bosch I just put in mine, but might have been Delco. Whatever Bursons sell anyway.
They are all much the same as far as I know

i run Borg Warner ones in mine, work a treat, bought off Ebay.

OK, been researching o2's on the net, what's the difference between direct fit and universal? I assume direct fit is especially for that particular make/model? And therefore is that generally preferred over just a universal?

[VK_3800]

Universal ones don't come with a plug

[VYMAD]

Universal ones don't come with a plug

K thanks for that

i got mine from Holden for a $100 each?

you cant really go past ebay....if youre not sure of the bloke just check out his feedback and you dont need a credit card...just direct deposit the money into the account of the person you buy it off...thats how I have done it for over a hundred times and works without a hitch....just bought a o2 sensor from ebay .....came brand new ,sealed in a box to my door in 2-3 days..... known brand ngk and fits my car and delivered to my door for 80 bucks and that was for a 4 wire one for my vr v6 ... no rewiring needed to fit my plug...just unplug .unscrew and plug and play........one for your car would probably be cheaper mine came from a bloke who calls himself cyberspace auto parts....yep the retail (which nobody pays if they can get around it) for a ac delco one was nearly 200.
