Bosch 13267 Oxygen Sensor - Upstream

Bosch Actual OE Oxygen Sensor 13267

Bosch 13267 is an Actual OE Oxygen Sensor built as a narrow-band heated replacement for precise air-fuel-ratio feedback to the ECU. It supports stable combustion control and emissions management for select Volkswagen applications, including upstream service on Cabrio, Corrado, Golf, Jetta, and Passat models.

Key Features

• Actual OE Oxygen Sensor from Bosch
• Narrow-band heated sensor design for closed-loop operation
• Specific-fit replacement with 4-wire harness and rectangular male connector
• Threaded mounting with 18 mm thread diameter and 22 mm hex size
• Steel-finish metal housing for high-temperature service
• Wiring harness included with 20.3 in harness length and 22.8 in sealing-surface-to-connector length

OE-Style Sensor Performance

Bosch 13267 uses a switching-type oxygen sensor element to report exhaust oxygen content to the engine control unit, helping the system maintain the correct air-fuel ratio during normal driving and warm-up. Bosch’s OE development history includes early thimble-style sensors and later planar narrowband designs, with a focus on faster light-off, accurate lambda feedback, and quicker closed-loop response. This part cross-references 021906265A for the same application.

Vehicle Fitment

• Fits 1995 Volkswagen Cabrio, Upstream
• Fits 1992-1995 Volkswagen Corrado, Upstream
• Fits 1993-1995 Volkswagen Golf, Upstream

What It Helps Address

• Check engine light related to oxygen sensor performance
• Rich or lean fuel mixture feedback issues
• Slow closed-loop transition after startup
• Unstable idle or drivability concerns tied to exhaust feedback
• Emissions test failures caused by a worn upstream sensor

Installation Notes

Install Bosch 13267 in the upstream location specified for the vehicle application. Confirm the 18 mm thread size, 4-wire connector layout, and harness routing before installation. Use proper oxygen sensor service tools and verify the connector locks fully into place after routing away from exhaust heat.
