What wideband?

8th February 2017, 21:48

My wideband died, so i need a new one but i have a problem.
I bought a PnP Vems ECU from DP with a wideband, and i paied for a Bosch 4.9 but it turns out i got a Bosch 7057 (4.2)

I need a replacement and to be honest i'm not to keen on cutting the old plug off to get a new one - so i stick to the 7057 plug, but what to choose?

I've found one at efi-parts.co.uk but at £75 posted i believe it can be done cheaper, problem is what and where?

Don't think cheaper, think better.

Get one with the NTK sensor (like an AFX) as it is many many times more robust than the Bosch option. They literally last ten times longer when abusing them. I usually get a couple of months on the dyno out of a Bosch one before it's dead. So far I've only killed NTK ones by dropping them. They just last and last on the dyno. Always calibrate up right. Mega.

Very valid points indeed.
Thanks Wayne

Do you have a dealer you can recommend?

I bought mine when in America. Somebody must sell the here, just have a Google.

Come to think, a mate bought one recently so I'll ask him where he got his.

Thanks it would be awesome if you could ask him, because looking now on my mobile I get several different options on eBay, ranging from £8 to £200.

I need to change the plug, so I guess i need the male one to wire in
