Bosch 17068 Oxygen Sensor - Upstream Right

Bosch Wideband O2 Sensor for VW Fitment

Bosch 17068 is an Actual OE wideband air-fuel oxygen sensor built for precise mixture feedback in modern engine management systems. It is a specific-fit, heated sensor for select Volkswagen applications, including 2006-2010 Volkswagen Passat, Upstream Right, and 2009-2017 Volkswagen CC, Upstream Right.

Key Features

• Wideband A/F oxygen sensor for continuous air-fuel ratio measurement
• Heated design for faster sensor warm-up and stable operation
• Specific-fit replacement with 5-wire harness and 6 terminals
• Threaded mounting with 18 mm thread diameter and 22 mm hex size
• Oblong male connector with included wiring harness
• Steel finish and metal housing for OE-style durability
• Overall length: 30.7 in; sealing surface to connector end: 29.5 in

Product Details

Bosch 17068 uses wideband sensing technology to provide the ECU with detailed air-fuel ratio data across the full lambda range. That level of signal detail supports accurate fuel control during idle, cruise, acceleration, and load changes. Bosch pioneered the planar pump-cell wideband design used in modern engine management, and this Actual OE Oxygen Sensor line reflects that OE development background for Volkswagen Passat and Volkswagen CC service work.

This part cross-references Bosch 022906262AM for the same application.

Common Symptoms This Sensor Can Address

• Check engine light related to oxygen sensor or air-fuel ratio faults
• Rough idle or inconsistent fuel trim readings
• Poor fuel economy caused by inaccurate exhaust feedback
• Delayed sensor response during warm-up or load changes
• Emissions test failure tied to upstream sensor performance

Installation Notes

Install Bosch 17068 in the upstream right position only where specified by fitment. Verify connector shape, terminal count, thread size, and harness routing before installation. Because this is a wideband sensor, correct placement and secure electrical connection are important for accurate ECU feedback on 2006-2010 Volkswagen Passat and 2009-2017 Volkswagen CC applications.

Quality Assurance

Bosch draws on more than five decades of OE sensor development and supplies aftermarket oxygen sensors built to OE-proven standards. Bosch 17068 is part of the Actual OE Oxygen Sensor line, engineered for reliable signal accuracy and consistent operation in demanding thermal conditions.
