Based on some threads in the Volvo list, a lot of the Volvo owners have
been going to universal or "any" 3 wire sensors for around $60, with no
reports of problems. Don't know how it work in the Peugeot, but the 3
wire Bosh part number for the Volvo (240) and the Peugeot (XN6) is the
same.
I've extracted a few quotes from that list (the first quote came as the
thread was being beat to death!) :
>Why, then, are you looking for "this particular generic one" when
>ANY[!!!!] 3-wire sensor will work???
>Any Ford[or G.M., or Chrysler] sensor will fit any Volvo [same thread,
>same sensor].
>The heater is more or less optional, as the sensors are the same; heated
>ones work sooner on startup and better at idle. Cars with heated sensors
>stock may have some means of detecting whether the heater is working or
>not.
>the oxy sensor hole in your manifold is the same thread as an 18MM spark
>plug, and I believe all sensors have the same size thread, so any sensor
>would work, just be careful pulling out the old sensor, since they
>sometimes leave threads behind, you may have to run a thread chaser
>through the hole. Having just replaced the Sensor with a Ford Sensor
>(cheap,cheap), I was surprised to find the same Bosch part number on
>both. The difference was the length of the pigtale.
>I bought an OS-202 sensor from NAPA for ~$55.- NAPA's OS-202 *is* a
>Bosch sensor, it's for a Ford 302 of some description. (The reason I
