Purchased (2) different Bosch oxygen sensors for a 2010 Mercedes Benz ML350 both going bad within a month. The second sensor threw a different code from the first one. I believe a bad batch of oxygen sensors is going around Bosch is usually rock solid parts.I can’t risk the clients car not running right part is $326 at the dealership. I hope the bad ones get weeded out I can’t blame Bosch, it happens.

The precatalylic sensor comes off much easier than the post catalytic. It is very difficult to get the post catalytic sensor off. It is almost welded to the exhaust due to the extreme heat it is exposed to. Having said that, it might come off easier if you try to remove it after running the vehicle. This sensors are doing the job-the engine check light is off.
