go with the cheapest ones you can find. They are all pretty much the same. They can be pretty pricey at times too. OxygenSensors.com is the best place I have found for great selection, great prices and free priority shipping.

Thanks guys, Yes I don't care to pay 200 dollars if it will last longer and still get 33 mpg like it was doing before it went south. Guess I'll order a Oem thanks for the link!
I need to get mine replaced too. I'm pretty sure it's the O2 sensors going bad, I'm getting a P0175 code (system too lean left bank). I checked the front one, which I think is the right bank, but regardless I wanted to check it anyway...it gave me intermittent readings. Almost like it was cycling back and forth between open and closed loop. I'll replace both anyway. I have a 1mz though, not sure if there's any difference in the type and amount of O2 sensors. I think maybe the 5s-fe has an a/f sensor in place of one of the O2 sensors or something like that. But anyway, I went to autozone and they told me $110 a piece(!) for the Bosch OE-type sensors, and $60 for the Bosch universal sensors. Which, by the way, require splitting the wires to the connector and resoldering them on to the new sensor. Yuck. So is there anything cheaper than that? And do they last as long?

I get code that says running lean bank 1, figure that is the front sensor on a i4.
if you have a VAG u can check urself, or go to a dealer. but, they're going to charge you. Auto-zone and places like that wouldn't be able to check it, atleast the ones around me can't. They're good for checkin the batty... woooOOOOooooOOOO
when the o2 sensor is bad u get your code, and the idle is likely to be rough.

Well on a V6, bank one is the one closest to the firewall, or so I think. It's going to be crap to change it out. So just get whatever's cheapest? I figured I'd be able to use one of those universal ones, I'm pretty good with electronics and can solder. It's just going to be a lot more work than I'd like. Anything cheaper than the bosch units?
has anyone replace their o2 sensor by yourself? coz i know i need to replace my but i'm completely clueless about it. and what's the code for and where the heck do you find it??
