Generic O2 Sensors- does Audi interchange w/ Saab?? [Audi related]

[George Siambis]

Thanks for the quick replies everyone . . . it appears the $aab & Audi O2
sensors should be interchangeable.
The following message from the saabnet.com archive suggests that any Bosch 0
258 003 xxx series 3-wire O2 sensor is compatible.  This matches the series
number on the 'experienced' O2 sensor from my car.  Sweet, I can order today
. . .

Thanks again,
George

For anyone who's interested, it's previously been reported that any of the
3-wire oxygen sensors used by Saab (the Bosch 0 258 003 xxx series) can be
replaced by the Bosch #13942, used in the '90 & '92 5.0L V8 Ford Mustangs
(Checker Auto uses the same part #, and sells it for about $48).  This
sensor has a 6" lead with a very nice weatherproof connector.  The mating
connector harness can be ordered through Ford for about $13, and the part
number is SS-J927082.  On any turbo cars where the O2 sensor is close to the
turbo, it might be a good idea to use some heat resistant fiberglass tubing
over the connector.
