Heated Oxygen Sensor, Replacing, 6-Pin Universal Oxygen Sensor

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Volkswagen Beetle, 2015 Volkswagen Beetle, 2014 Volkswagen Beetle, and 2013 Volkswagen Beetle. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Use the faulty sensor as a guide for installing all of the accompanying attachments, cable ties or marking bands.

Do not repair the heated oxygen sensor wires. Repairing may result in malfunctions.

Procedure

-- Remove the old heated oxygen sensor.

-- Lay both of the heated oxygen sensors next to each other so the sensor housings are the same level.
