Delphi ES20168 Oxygen Sensor Overview

The Delphi ES20168 is a heated oxygen sensor built for rear, rear left, rear right, and select front applications on Volkswagen and Audi vehicles. It uses a 4-wire design, flat connector shape, and 18 x 1.5 mm thread size with a 700.0 overall length for the listed fitments.

Built from Delphi’s OE experience and aftermarket engineering, this oxygen sensor supports accurate exhaust feedback on applications such as the Volkswagen Beetle, Golf, Jetta, and Audi A4 Quattro. The ES20168 is a direct-fit replacement for many rear sensor locations where the original sensor uses the same connector and length.

  • 4-wire configuration for the listed applications
  • Flat connector shape for OE-style connection
  • 18 x 1.5 mm thread size
  • 700.0 overall length
  • Includes oxygen sensor and instruction sheet
  • Fits rear, rear left, rear right, and select front positions

Detailed Description

Delphi ES20168 is an emission control oxygen sensor engineered for vehicles that require a heated, 4-wire sensor with a flat connector and 700.0 overall length. It is listed for rear positions on the 1998-2010 Volkswagen Beetle, 2000-2006 Volkswagen Golf, 1999-2005 Volkswagen Jetta, and 2004 Volkswagen R32, along with rear applications on the 2004-2006 Audi TT Quattro and 2001-2000 Audi TT. It also fits rear left and rear right positions on the 2005-2006 Audi A4 Quattro and 2005 Audi A4.

Delphi draws on OE heritage and supplier experience with major automakers, and that background is reflected in the fit, connector style, and sensor construction of the ES20168. This part number, ES20168, is also cross-referenced by Bosch 16034 for the same application.

What This Oxygen Sensor Helps Address

  • Check engine light related to oxygen sensor performance
  • Incorrect exhaust oxygen readings at the rear sensor location
  • Fuel trim issues caused by a failing heated sensor
  • Slow sensor response after warm-up
  • Connector or thread mismatch during replacement

Installation Notes and Tips

  • Confirm the exact sensor position in the vehicle application tab before ordering.
  • Verify the 700.0 overall length matches the original sensor routing.
  • Check that the connector shape and 4-wire layout match the OE unit.
  • Inspect the exhaust bung thread size, listed as 18 x 1.5 mm, before installation.
  • Use the included instruction sheet and follow vehicle-specific service procedures.

Quality Assurance

Delphi builds this oxygen sensor with OE-based engineering and supplier knowledge developed over decades of original equipment experience. That background supports consistent fitment and sensor design for the listed Volkswagen and Audi applications.
