Bosch sensor 850

posted by someone claiming to be Mike Mako on Thu Jan 3 22:07 CST 2013 [RELATED]

I bought a Bosch 02 sensor Part #13517 from FCP Groton for my wife's 1994 volvo 850. Last weekend I finally had a chance to remove the old one and compare it with the new Bosch sensor. When I compared side by side the old sensor from the car with the FCP Groton Bosch 02 sensor, I have noticed that the new sensor did not have a logo or Bosch name on the barrel and it's marking was not as dark as the old sensor from the car that was probably 10 years old! I will be returning the Bosch sensor to FCP and update you guys.When I first saw the price of their Bosch sensor online, I was already suspicious for its low price $86.77 compared to $120.00 up to $160. from other auto parts stores. Has anyone had the same experience?

Every now and then I get a part that isn't what it is supposed to be. Most recently it was the coolant temperature sensor that I ordered, received a part that I looked up to be the intake air temperature for an audi. The box I received was labeled 31360, with a sticker of 31360. The FCP part was 33160. When I called and got the right part shipped out, I got a box labeled 33160, but stickered 31360. It seems when you do the volume FCP, and most other online retailers do, you get some mislabeled things.

Call them up and see what they say. FAIK, the sensor you bought is correct just not labeled.
