Torque is 55 Nm. And you need to use hot lubricating paste on the thread.
Mike

No need to use the paste with the MB specific Bosch sensor. New in the box, it comes with the high temp anti-seize paste already applied. Perhaps the Bosch units for the Chrysler do too???

'02 CLK320 Cabriolet - wifey's mid-life crisis

2012 VW Jetta Sportwagon TDI...at least its a diesel

Non illegitemae carborundum.

A good copper-based anti-seize also works.

I use LubroMoly's.

:-) neil

The Bosch sensors I bought today, came with some anti seize on the threads.
I can not tell what base it is, just by looking at it. It looks grayish, so maybe it is graphite based but I really can't tell.
I may put an extra dap of copper based A/S just for good measure.

Thanks to all of you.

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but my car (95 e320) uses 4 wire sensor. I was given a bosch part number 13314. Can I use the voyager oxygen sensor instead of the mercedes one? It seems like bosch part number for that one is 13275.

Thanks for the clarification and if anyone has done this to their late w124s please drop me a line.

Thanks

The gray stuff is probably nickel-based anti-sieze compound. Ni-base anti-sieze is formulated for high-temp applications such as exhaust systems. No need to add copper-based a/s.

I bought sensors for both my 400E and 530iT BMW from these guys. Give them a E/call

I also spliced in the Bosch 13953 on my '90 300E 2.6. I marginally passed smog two years ago so I changed it before this years test. Passed fine, with lower emissions that two years ago.

It took about 20 minutes to splice and solder the new sensor in place of the old.

My advice it to solder and heat shrink it and have your splice inside the car to avoid any weather issues.

Thanks for the tip on the 4-wire sensor. I'll change the '94 as well since it is due for smog in the next few weeks.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

i am about to change my O2 sensor with the Bosch 13953
also. i looked at my wiring and found two existing connectors,
one is a two-wire connector(with red and brown wires),
the other is a rounded connector with solid green wire.

so, where do i cut and splice? your guidance is appreciated.
the car is a 89 260E.

If you have a 3-wire O2 sensor, it would mean 1= 12 volt power ( probably red ), 1= ground ( likely brown ) & 1= signal wire ( likely green ).
You can verify this with a DVOM.
Red = 12 volt
Brown = ground
Green = fluctuating voltage ( between 0.1 to 1.0 volts, or it may be locked in at @ 0.5 volt.

My archived notes tell me the mating connector from Ford is:

Mating Connector (Ford dealer part number AUVC927082, $9.06 – for a 1990 Mustang 302).

It is suggested to use this connector so splicing has to be done only once. Then your new O2 sensor can be replaced at will with a simple disconnect.

Kestas, thanks for the tip. i hope the ford o2 sensor
comes with enough length of wires for me to re-use my
connector.

cheers!

Re: Mustang connector # AUVC927082...

A few weeks ago I checked for this at my local Ford dealer. They said it is no longer available. They also confirmed by year & model lookup. Too bad.

I also used the Chrysler 4-wire O2 sensor on my 1995 e320. I tried to get the mating connector from chrysler, but found it no longer available. 30 min. at the junk yard, I was in business. Easy job to do, I used what are called "environmental splices" and heat shrink on top of that. So far, it works flawlessly.
