New O2 Oxygen Sensor from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/1AEOS00262
This video shows you how to install an upstream oxygen (O2) sensor on your 2011-2018 Volkswagen Jetta. The Oxygen (O2) sensors help monitor the emissions system in your vehicle. They measure the amount of oxygen passing through the exhaust, which informs the computer about proper fuel/air mixture, and the condition of the catalytic converter. Over time, the sensors may fail due to contamination, or reaching the end of their service life. TRQ offers new O2 sensors made to manufacturer’s specifications.
This process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2011 Volkswagen Jetta
2012 Volkswagen Jetta
2013 Volkswagen Jetta
2014 Volkswagen Jetta
2015 Volkswagen Jetta
2016 Volkswagen Jetta
2017 Volkswagen Jetta
2018 Volkswagen Jetta
Tools you will need:
• Pocket Screwdriver
• Pry Bar 1aau.to/os/1AXAA00020
• O2 Sensor Socket
• Ratchet 1aau.to/oai/1AXAA00016

Thank you guys for these educational videos!

Keep those Jetta video coming, I have a 2010. 2.5

[@jlayton2335]

My code reader is telling me I need a new 02 sensor but how can I tell if it's my upstream or downstream ?

[@bethany6070]

Thank you for this video. I tried to change it myself but it’s too stuck on 😅. You made it super easy though.

[@badoon3679]

how do you know when the crush gasket is pressed in? Also what size socket do I need? Thanks for this video!

[@greatcesarsghost]

Hello I need help to replace a downstream O2 sensor on a 2008 Volkswagen Jetta with a 2.5 non turbo engine if you could do that that'd be cool thanks

[@Richard5873]

I need to replace an O2 sensor. Not sure which one. Signal B1 S2 stuck rich. Front or rear ?

[@irvinjramos]

How many o2 sensors dose a 2013 Jetta se 2.5 have?

[@kenmastersmaster]

I have a 2019 manual Jetta throwing an o2 code. The symptoms were jerky acceleration in first and 2nd then fluttering with load and throttle, seems to disappear for months at a time then come back

[@tylere5817]

Do you have to have a special tool for the censor or will a rench work?

[@bros1183]

Hi, after replacing the o2 part, my check engine light is still on and now my EPC light is on as well. Do I have to drive it a certain amount? Should it turn off by itself? Do I have to reset the warning lights and see if it comes back on again? Did I possibly mess something up as now the EPC light is on? Thanks

[@alvaro93364]

Yo, which one is bank 2 temperature sensor? I have code p043f

[@rusty2075]

where is the nox sensor heater sensor bank 1 sensor 2 on a 2015 jetta tdi ?

[@CSFRazielCSF]

What is the name of that socket type? I don't know how to find it online. Thanks.

[@victorbriceno8401]

If it helps. Head over to your nearby auto shop like Oreilys or Autozone and ask for the loan a tool option. They have kits for sockets that are specifically to remove oxygen sensors. This way you borrow the tool, use it and return it. There may be a deposit/hold on the item but as soon as you return it, it is released. No charge

[@CSFRazielCSF]

@@victorbriceno8401 thanks. I ended up finding it and just buying one in case i ever need one in the future. Saved so much installing it myself that i figured, "why not?".

[@victorbriceno8401]

My question is regarding the replacement part. My wife has the 2013 2.5 SE and so far every time I have had to change/replace any parts I find myself having to purchase OEM. Aftermarket parts for some reason don’t last or don’t work at all. Any tips as to whether this oxygen sensor worked after its addition? Thank you for the great video and feedback.

[@yorgokennos3392]

You probably already bought your part but my mechanic buddies all told me to go with Bosch for a replacement part.

[@montakims]

Bosch is the original manufacturer for some car parts for EVERY car, they created the o2 and mass air flow sensors, and soon it became the standard for all cars.

[@johnnyg3501]

👍👍🎉🎉 Good job 🎉

[@danizuhair823]
