Exclusive double laser-welded stainless steel body is totally submersible and sealed tight to protect against damage from exhaust emissions — ensuring a longer sensor service life. Fast-acting heater optimizes sensor operation on Planar and 3, 4, and 5 wire Thimble type sensors allowing the oxygen sensor to reach its operating temperature quicker – within seconds – for optimum performance. True Direct-fit OE connectors and harnesses, along with threads pre-coated with anti-seize compound right out of the box, make installation simple and hassle-free. It’s critical that oxygen sensors are replaced at the suggested intervals provided by vehicle manufacturers before the sensor fails. Following the recommendations will prevent long term damage to a vehicle’s engine, reduce harmful carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and save money when refueling your vehicle. ## Features - [INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY] - Every Bosch Oxygen Sensor benefits from the technological and manufacturing experience gained from decades of production since first inventing the Oxygen Sensor in the late 1960's, ensuring long-lasting, superior performance - [FACTORY TESTED] - Seared appearance of protection tube is a result of a 100% fully functional quality test to ensure every Bosch manufactured sensor meets Bosch's rigorous standards for quality and performance - [STAINLESS STEEL BODY] - Exclusive double laser-welded stainless steel body is totally submersible and sealed tight to protect against damage from exhaust emissions — ensuring longer sensor service life - [FAST ACTING HEATER] - Fast-acting heater optimizes sensor operation on Planar and 3, 4, and 5 wire Thimble type sensors allowing the oxygen sensor to reach its operating temperature quicker – within seconds – for optimum performance - [READY TO INSTALL] - True Direct-fit OE connectors and harnesses, along with threads pre-coated with anti-seize compound right out of the box, make installation simple and hassle-free - Compatible with select vehicles (Note: verify specific fitment details, including sensor position, with fit checker above): VOLKSWAGEN: 1998-99,2001-10 Beetle, 1999,2001-06 Golf, 2007-10 Golf City, 1999,2001-05 Jetta, 2007-09 Jetta City ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00WTKPFSG | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,985,604 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #11,228 in Automotive Replacement Oxygen Sensors | | Brand Name | Bosch | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (19) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00077212155422 | | Included Components | oxygen sensor | | Item Dimensions | 11.4 x 6.3 x 4.6 inches | | Item Type Name | Oxygen Sensor (OE Type Fitment) | | Item Weight | 4.48 ounces | | Manufacturer | Bosch | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model | 16738 | | Mounting Type | Flange Mount | | Output Type | NPN, PNP, Push-Pull | | Part Number | 16738 | | Specific Uses For Product | Oxygen Sensor | | Style Name | Oxygen Sensor | | UPC | 077212155422 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Bosch - **Item Weight:** 4.48 ounces - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 11.4 x 6.3 x 4.6 inches - **Material:** Stainless Steel - **Style:** Oxygen Sensor ## Images ![BOSCH 16738 Premium Original Equipment Oxygen Sensor - Compatible with Select Volkswagen Beetle, Golf, Golf City, Jetta, Jetta City - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51yBLDDQ2pS.jpg) ## Frequently Bought Together - BOSCH 16738 Premium Original Equipment Oxygen Sensor - Compatible with Select Volkswagen Beetle, Golf, Golf City, Jetta, Jetta City - BOSCH 17351 Premium Original Equipment Oxygen Sensor - Compatible with Select Audi A4, A8, TT, Quattro; Bentley Continental; Volkswagen Beetle, EuroVan, Golf, Jetta, Passat, Phaeton, Touareg - Bosch 16978 Oxygen Sensor, Original Equipment (Audi, Volkswagen) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/98446310-bosch-16738-premium-original-equipment-oxygen-sensor-compatible-with-select](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/98446310-bosch-16738-premium-original-equipment-oxygen-sensor-compatible-with-select) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
