Vemo V20-72-0146 Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) Sensor

VEMO NOx Sensor for BMW Diesel Emissions Control

The Vemo V20-72-0146 is a nitrogen oxide sensor for diesel emission control systems, built to match the OE reference 13628589846. With a compact 33 mm height, 87 mm width, and 943 mm length, this front NOx sensor is specified for BMW applications that require accurate exhaust gas monitoring.

Compatible With 2017 BMW 328d, 2017 BMW 328d xDrive, 2016-2017 BMW X3, and 2017 BMW X5. VEMO focuses on OE-style replacement parts for emission control systems, and this sensor follows the listed factory reference for direct application matching.

Key Features

• Part number: V20-72-0146
• OE reference cross-match: 13628589846
• Front nitrogen oxide sensor for diesel emission control
• Dimensions: 33 mm height, 87 mm width, 943 mm length
• Lightweight design at 0.234 kg
• Application-specific for BMW diesel models listed below

Detailed Description

This VEMO NOx sensor is used in the exhaust aftertreatment system to monitor nitrogen oxide levels and provide the engine control system with emissions data. Accurate NOx sensing is important for BMW diesel vehicles such as the 2017 BMW 328d, 2017 BMW 328d xDrive, 2016-2017 BMW X3, and 2017 BMW X5, where emissions management depends on reliable sensor input. The V20-72-0146 is identified against OE number 13628589846 for fitment verification.

VEMO’s VEMO line is positioned as an OE-style replacement range for vehicle systems that require application-specific parts rather than universal components. For buyers searching for a BMW X3 NOx sensor, BMW X5 NOx sensor, or a front NOx sensor for a 2017 BMW 328d, this part number provides a direct reference point for catalog matching.

This part cross-references Genuine (e.g., 13628589846) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Fault codes related to NOx sensor performance
• Incorrect nitrogen oxide readings in the exhaust system
• Emissions monitoring issues on diesel BMW models
• Check engine lights tied to aftertreatment sensor faults
• OE reference mismatch during replacement part lookup

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the OE number 13628589846 and confirm the vehicle application before installation. This sensor is listed for front placement in the fitment data, so match the vehicle’s emissions system configuration and route the harness carefully to avoid strain or heat damage. Clear diagnostic codes and confirm system operation after installation.

Quality Assurance

VEMO supplies OE-style replacement components for emission control applications, and this sensor is cataloged to the factory reference listed above for fitment accuracy. Always confirm part number V20-72-0146 against the vehicle VIN and emissions system requirements before ordering.
