Clio 182 (05) - Ordered Bosch Lambda sensor but ebay seller sent a different (fuel parts) component instead

[pna]

The original advert for the Bosch sensor was very specific saying Clio 182 and quoting correct engine number (F4R 738) and cost £45, but after suppling reg.no they said it wasnt compatible but they could change for the correct one at no extra cost. The item is in a Fuel Parts box with LB1677 printed on the side. Does anyone have experience to know if this part will actually fit and work correctly?

Send the s**t back and buy one from somewhere reputable. I would only ever fit Renault/Bosch Lambda sensors personally

You want a genuine Bosch lambda sensor, part number 0258006046
Yours is none genuine. If it hasn't got Bosch on the box it isn't.

Yes, send it back, at that price get a genuine Bosch part LS 6046 - 0258006046
Fits both front and back, never take any notice of compatibility charts like those on ebay.

Thank you for the replies. I was suspicious when they said the part I originally ordered wouldnt fit, despite the listing title being specifically for a 182, and I didnt realise their offer to 'swap it to the correct Fuel Part unit instead' was going to result in a non Bosch part, which incidentally I can see its possible to buy for only £27, rather than the £45 I paid. What is the correct return reason? 'Doesn't match description or photos'? I see they have a bit bad feedback recently for sending out incorrect parts and telling the buyers they have to pay return postage.

Yea if your purchase says it was a genuine Bosch and they've supplied that just return it as not as described.

'Doesn't match description or photos'?

This then wait for your pre paid returns label.

Just an update - initiated the return which they authorised - thought they might be difficult as recent feedback suggests they have been with other customers.

In the meantime I've bought a proper Bosch sensor using the part numbers given above - booked in at the garage on Friday to fit - hope it sorts out the misfire!
