Bosch 16292 Oxygen Sensor - Downstream

Bosch Actual OE Oxygen Sensor for Volvo

Bosch 16292 is a narrow-band heated oxygen sensor built for precise air-fuel ratio feedback to the ECU. It supports stable closed-loop fuel control and emissions monitoring for specific Volvo applications, including 2000-2004 Volvo S40 downstream and 2000-2004 Volvo V40 downstream.

Key Features

• Actual OE Oxygen Sensor from Bosch
• Narrow-band heated O2 sensor with 4-wire design
• Specific fit replacement with threaded mounting
• Rectangle connector with male connector and terminal ends
• Wiring harness included for direct replacement use
• 22 mm hex size and 18 mm thread diameter
• Metal housing with high-temperature-resistant construction

Product Details

Bosch 16292 uses a switching-type sensing element to measure exhaust oxygen content and send accurate feedback to the engine control unit. Bosch developed this oxygen sensor line from its original OE sensor technology and later planar narrowband designs, focusing on faster sensor response, improved lambda accuracy, and quicker closed-loop operation. For Volvo S40 and Volvo V40 downstream applications, this sensor supports consistent fuel control under changing thermal and vibration conditions.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 30617336, 306173360) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Check engine light related to oxygen sensor performance
• Incorrect air-fuel ratio readings at the ECU
• Rough idle or unstable fuel control from a worn downstream sensor
• Emissions test failures tied to sensor response issues
• Slow closed-loop operation after sensor aging or contamination

Installation Notes

Fits 2000-2004 Volvo S40, downstream. Fits 2000-2004 Volvo V40, downstream. Confirm connector shape, thread size, and sensor position before installation. Use the threaded mounting point and the existing harness routing to match the original layout. Verify the exhaust system is cool before removal and installation.

Quality Assurance

Bosch supplies this Actual OE Oxygen Sensor with OE-proven design and materials developed through decades of oxygen sensor engineering. The sensor is built for durable operation in high-heat exhaust environments and consistent signal accuracy across normal driving conditions.
