[Biturbos4] 5 Codes

[Steve Munk]

Scott, I used the splice-in kind of Bosch O2 sensor replacement to  
replace an upper one on my wife's biturbo A6 and it has been fine. The  
sensor was exactly the same as the original except you reuse the stock  
connector. The upper O2 sensor wasn't too hard to change with an O2  
socket and a long extension. I had to get creative to get some PB  
Blaster down there to help break it loose. I used three straws pushed  
into each other and that was long enough to trickle the PB Blaster  
down to the O2 sensor threads and soak them real well.
