Walker 350-33097 Oxygen Sensor - VW Golf Jetta 1.8L Mexican Beetle 1.6L

Walker Oxygen Sensor (3-Wire Heated) – 350-33097

The Walker 350-33097 is a precision-engineered narrow-band oxygen sensor designed to maintain the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio in classic fuel-injected Volkswagen engines. By constantly monitoring exhaust gas oxygen levels, this sensor allows the engine management system to adjust fuel trim for peak performance and catalytic converter longevity.

Built with a high-temperature 20-gauge wiring harness and a durable M18-1.5 threaded body, this sensor is a specific-fit replacement for Digifant and other early VW fuel injection systems. It features a dual-shielded sensor element to prevent contamination from road debris and exhaust soot, ensuring a long service life and reliable signal output.

Product Highlights & Features

• OE-Spec Response: Calibrated to match the signal curve and heater resistance required by Volkswagen ECUs for the RV, PF, and RD engine codes.

• Corrosion-Resistant Housing: Constructed from high-quality stainless steel to prevent the sensor from seizing or rusting in the exhaust stream.

• Pre-Applied Anti-Seize: The threads are coated with a specialized compound at the factory to ensure a smooth installation and easier removal in the future.

Technical Specifications

• Part Number: 350-33097

• Connector Type: 3-Pin Rectangular (Male)

• Terminal Type: Spade

• Thread Size: M18 - 1.5

• Overall Length: 985mm

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Avoid Sensor Poisoning: Never apply silicone-based sprays or excessive anti-seize near the sensor tip; these chemicals can coat the ceramic element and render the sensor useless.

• Safe Routing: Use the 985mm harness to follow the original factory path. Secure the wire with heat-resistant ties to prevent it from resting on the exhaust manifold or downpipe.

• Wrench Size: Use a standard 22mm (7/8 inch) oxygen sensor wrench for installation. Torque the sensor to approximately 40-50 Nm (30-37 ft-lb) to ensure a proper seal without damaging the threads.
