    For that price probably worth a try - genuine Bosch / Audi ones are ~5 times the price.

    Some folk have had problems with cheap orrible chinese lambdas, but this might be OK - maybe wont get full 60k miles as per OEM standard but if you get more than 12k miles you are quids in

        I've had nothing but trouble from cheap Lambdas over the years, Bosch oem is "only" £50 + VAT, worth it for a decent quality part imho, plug and play too

          Evidence to my point then... takes your money - takes your choices... Bosch one is 4 x the price then so you need 15k trouble free miles from elcheapo no-name part.
