Just out of curiosity was you using a universal as in using part of the old wiring and crimping to the new 02 sensor? or can you recall the brand previously fitted before this OE Bosch unit was fitted ? I have a feeling this one is about to unfold

In the early days of cats & 02 sensors that was about all you could get, you got a universal sensor & 2/3/4 crimps depending on type, they were cr@p, lasted about 3 min 20 seconds.
