Anyone Using The Bosch 5 Wire Lsu 4.9 Oxygen Sensors ?

[discopotato03]

I had a reason to be on Tech Edges site recently and saw mention of a later type of Bosch 02 probe called LSU 4.9 .

TE apparently sells them and I think the part number is 0 258 017 025 .

I think its clam to fame is that it runs a higher internal temperature and heats itself up faster than earlier LSU 4 and LSU 4.2 types .

Obviously car manufacturers want probes that light up instantly and run hot enough to burn off any garbage that may flow over them .

Its also interesting that TE claim that Bosch discount their modern sensors more than older tech types to try and get users to update where possible .

So , anyone using them yet ?

I bought a wideband controller and gauge the other day and it has a bosch 5 wire sensor but it doesn't say what type. It takes about ten seconds to warm up.
