Bosch Oxygen Sensors are 100% tested for full functionality, resulting in a seared appearance of the protection tube, to ensure every Bosch manufactured sensor meets Bosch's rigorous standards for quality and performance. Exclusive double laser-welded stainless steel body is totally submersible and sealed tight to protect against damage from exhaust emissions - ensuring a longer sensor service life. Fast-acting heater optimizes sensor operation on Planar and 3, 4, and 5 wire Thimble type sensors allowing the oxygen sensor to reach its operating temperature quicker - within seconds - for optimum performance. True Direct-fit OE connectors and harnesses, along with threads pre-coated with anti-seize compound right out of the box, make installation simple and hassle-free. It's critical that oxygen sensors are replaced at the suggested intervals provided by vehicle manufacturers before the sensor fails. Following the recommendations will prevent long term damage to a vehicle's engine, reduce harmful carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and save money when refueling your vehicle. ## Features - [INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY] - Every Bosch Oxygen Sensor benefits from the technological and manufacturing experience gained from decades of production since first inventing the Oxygen Sensor in the late 1960's, ensuring long-lasting performance - [FACTORY TESTED] - Seared appearance of protection tube is a result of a 100 percent fully functional quality test to ensure every Bosch manufactured sensor meets Bosch's rigorous standards for quality and performance - [STAINLESS STEEL BODY] - Exclusive double laser-welded stainless steel body is totally submersible and sealed tight to protect against damage from exhaust emissions - ensuring longer sensor service life - [FAST ACTING HEATER] - Fast-acting heater optimizes sensor operation on Planar and 3, 4, and 5 wire Thimble type sensors allowing the oxygen sensor to reach its operating temperature quicker - within seconds - for optimum performance - [READY TO INSTALL] - True Direct-fit OE connectors and harnesses, along with threads pre-coated with anti-seize compound right out of the box, make installation simple and easy - Compatible with select vehicles (Note: engine may affect fitment - verify specific fitment details, including sensor position, with fit checker above): AUDI: 2002-05 Allroad Quattro, 2000-06 A4, 2000-05 A4 Quattro, 2002-04 A6, 2002-04 A6 Quattro - Compatible with (continued): AUDI: 2004-06 A8 Quattro, 2004-09 S4, 2000-06 TT, 2000-01 TT Quattro; VOLKSWAGEN: 1998-04 Beetle, 2000-02 Cabrio, 2001-03 EuroVan, 1999-06 Golf, 1999-05 Jetta, 2000-05 Passat, 2004-06 Phaeton, 2004-07 Touareg ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004HIEIYU | | Best Sellers Rank | #278,736 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #1,030 in Automotive Replacement Oxygen Sensors | | Brand Name | Bosch | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (123) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00028851169783 | | Included Components | Oxygen Sensor | | Item Dimensions | 5.83 x 3.94 x 2.2 inches | | Item Highlight | Compatible with Select Audi Allroad,A4,A6,A8,S4,TT;Volkswagen Beetle, Cabrio, EuroVan, Golf, Jetta, Passat, Phaeton, Touareg | | Item Type Name | Oxygen Sensor | | Item Weight | 3.2 ounces | | Manufacturer | BOSCH | | Material Type | Alloy Steel, Stainless Steel | | Measuring Range | 0% - 20% | | Model | 16978 | | Mounting Type | Flange Mount | | Number of Items | 1 | | Output Type | Push-Pull | | Part Number | 16978 | | Specific Uses For Product | Temperature | | Style Name | Box | | UPC | 028851169783 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Please contact us if you experience any issues within 30 days of receipt. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Bosch - **Item Weight:** 3.2 ounces - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 5.83 x 3.94 x 2.2 inches - **Material:** Alloy Steel, Stainless Steel - **Style:** Box ## Images ![BOSCH 16978 Premium Original Equipment Oxygen Sensor - Single - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51TCPQw9DVL.jpg) ## Frequently Bought Together - Bosch 16978 Oxygen Sensor, Original Equipment (Audi, Volkswagen) - BOSCH 17351 Premium Original Equipment Oxygen Sensor - Compatible with Select Audi A4, A8, TT, Quattro; Bentley Continental; Volkswagen Beetle, EuroVan, Golf, Jetta, Passat, Phaeton, Touareg - BOSCH 16738 Premium Original Equipment Oxygen Sensor - Compatible with Select Volkswagen Beetle, Golf, Golf City, Jetta, Jetta City --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.uy/products/82158158-bosch-16978-premium-original-equipment-oxygen-sensor-single](https://www.desertcart.uy/products/82158158-bosch-16978-premium-original-equipment-oxygen-sensor-single) --- *Product available on Desertcart Uruguay* *Store origin: UY* *Last updated: 2026-10-14*
