Hey guys,

I have ordered a new o2 sensor for my 2004 ba xr6t.

It was a NTK version bought from ebay. It has come in genuine ford packaging, and was definately in the list on the ad for a Ba turbo, amoung other models...

Problem is, the actual tip of the sensor appears to be slightly different in design to my original.....instead of long thin cutt outs to allow the gasses to pass through sensor tip, this one has small holes instead?

Is this ok to use ? Has anyone else found this same issue ? Did ford have a 02 sensor design change after 2004 ?

You didnt give a part number. There are two oxy sensors. If its the one before the Cat ( the cheaper one of the two to replace) Mine was from Motor traders and sounds the same as the part you have..

Dont worry that one will work fine I put the same one in my ba the new tip is probably a new design your ba only has only 1 o2 sensor near the turbo under the heat shield
