[alfa] Re: Replacing oxygen sensor 92 spider

["Dean W. Cains" <dwc@xxxxxx>]

Hi Marc:

Well, you were going in the right direction, but . . . You can buy one at 
AutoZone for  a mere $40.  Bosch part number is 13953.  Just to confuse the 
issue further, here's a net source, too:

http://www.buyoxygensensors.com/    $42 shipped, but it's a Walker part, 
not Bosch.

Physically, the sensor isn't very difficult to access, but it might be 
tight, and difficult to unscrew.  AutoZone, and many other parts places, 
will have an O2 sensor socket they can loan to you for the task.

Regard,

Dean
