replaced 02 sensor - drivability improves - oh YEAH!

sensor - soldered and heat shrink tubed. "....SNIP...

Regardless of your choice of O2 sensors, soldering, especially on sensitive
circuits like this, is flat out a bad idea.  VAG thinks so, Porsche thinks
so, Bosch thinks so, independent magazines have tested it, and we've
discussed it several times here on the list.  Soldering produces a degraded
connection, hampers current flow, produces a weak point in the wiring, and
often results on unwanted corrosion.  The wires come with a crimp connector
(at least the better ones do) and shrink tubing.  That's how you're supposed
to make the connections.  John
