Anyone have any experience with either AFI or RAE for sensors?  Looking for new pre-cat oxygen sensors for the Kluger.  Genuine is about $800, these are about $200.  There are genuine Densos on eBay for a similar price, but I'm thinking buying quality aftermarket (if AFI/RAE are quality) from a reputable supplier is a better bet than "genuine" from eBay.

Coz Kluger was mentioned? or aftermarket? or he'd be helpful?

Oooh hang on - looks like I can buy direct from Bosch.  They didn't seem to come up as an option at various places.  $140 each.

 

Friggin awesome - reminds me of trying to find a power steering box for a Triumph Stag - was many thousands for a reco'd one - til I found it was the exact unit that was used on a Cortina....

Thanks mate.

Haha Rab. My old man once discovered that the tail lights on his 76 Alfetta sedan were the same part number as the ones from a Countach. I guess I learnt to drive in a part-Lamborghini...

Screw that for a joke. 

 

Bosch has 12 different universal 4 wire O2 sensors.

 

Find the right one and connect it to your plug wiring. They come with an easy connect kit. 

 

Spend the other $700 to $750 anywhere else but on an O2 sensor.

Thanks, just ordered exactly that. Pretty annoyed at the $800 price given I've bought Falcon ones for 80 bucks before. Bosch were about $140 so have saved about $1300.
They actually had one direct plug version still in stock, so I bought that and one universal.
The connection kit looks neat.

I've used that connector kit a while ago. 

It goes together quite easily.

 

I was annoyed for you too for a minute! 

 

At least you have it sorted now without paying that ridiculous markup.
