AEM UEGO Replacement Sensor (Screw You AEM Im Not Paying What You Want)

just thought i would post here also for those of you with a aem wideband gauge you do not need to buy a aem "branded" wideband sensor and get taking for more money than it is worth...

recently my aem sensor failed and after looking at the prices online i wasnt gonna drop that amount on a new sensor since mine failed within 9 months of having it new. so after looking at the old sensor i noticed it was a bosch sensor. n knowing how aem runs their business they pry just use a oem sensor bosch already makes and rebrands it as theirs and ups the price will screw that aem i found a way around that...

since i work at a local autoparts store i found a bosch sensor that will work for us without cutting and hacking apart the wires yes that is right its a direct plug in and go swap

anyways the part number for the sensor that will work is

bosch number - 17018 and for a walkin customer at oreilly autoparts it would be only 62 bucks alot cheaper than any aem replacement i found

(if this is in the wrong section please feel free to move this mods)

hopefully this will save some ppl money!

thanks good info.. as mine is starting to go reading 1.8 off already. gotta get a new O2 sensor too.

Sick, awesome info. Just for shits and giggles, how much do you get it for with your discount? Not sure I have an oReilly's by me.

Just depends on the actually part. I this part I paid 52 bucks so 10 off the normal

This sensor can b bought tho where any bosch sensors r sold

Awesome find man. Great job.

Great find, repped!

Side note, you guys need avatars asap. :wavey:

Mine has been off by like 1.5 - 2 points since I boosted. Ive never hooked kpro up and ran it with a pull. When I hit boost my AEM gauge goes to 10.0 and stays there. So I assume it goes lower. But since its off by those 2 points, would I be really be at 12.0ish?

^ mad fail but now I realize kpro doesnt read your A/F lol

Well kpro does read your a/f from your primary O2 sensor. But I'm not too sure how accurate mine is either. I don't have an aem wideband But if it hits a 10:1 I wouldn't just assume it's at a 12:1 I'd have to check that out and make sure.

:yeahthat: You need to have an accurate primary o2 if you're getting tuned :thumb:

Will the above o2 sensor work as a primary sensor? I just found out my primary o2 is bad.

I doubt it. It has the same clip as your aem gauge and that's different from the RSX harness's clip.

Nope :sadwavy: Check out a few Acura dealerships online, or ebay. They'll have better pricing than local stealerships.
