Bosch o2 sensor #12009 for Renix. Still all metal body?

[my2monkeys]

The last new one I bought 6 months ago before smog test was an all metal style.

It just quit on me after 6 months. Maybe last week at Anza Borrego high temps under the hood killed. But it shouldn't have.

Any of those metal body o2's are junk, every time I end up putting my spare ceramic body type back in.

Good thing I got the MT 2500 or I wouldn't even know she was running in open loop cuz it runs just fine.

Anyone know where to procure them ceramic type sensors.atriot:

I used to buy Bosch. Turned out I was replacing my O2 sensor just about every 2 years when I failed smog. When I failed in 2020, I put in an NTK. Of course, with a few other replacements, adjustments, seafoam, etc.. I passed with the lowest numbers in many years. Even the smog techs were surprised to see such low number from an old car.

Anyway, hardly did anything in 2022 and still passed. Can't credit the NTK alone but I'm sold.

Rockauto has both. The pic of the Bosch shows ceramic.
