Every professional tech on VW and Audi will tell you to change it every 60K. O2 sensors aren't covered under warranty after 2yr/24K. They are considered a wear and tear item, like a spark plug. Emessions warranty is 8yr/80k for the CAT convertor and the engine ECU only. Michael Modl 87 syncro 87 quattro |
