Bosch 0258017467 - Lambda sensor with vehicle-specific connector

Bosch 0258017467 – a high‑performance Lambda sensor engineered specifically for Ford vehicles. This sensor is designed to fit the pre‑catalyst position, providing accurate oxygen measurement and enabling optimal engine management.

Key Features

• Vehicle‑specific connector: The sensor includes a proprietary 5‑wire plug that matches Ford’s electrical architecture, ensuring seamless integration without additional adapters.
• Pre‑Catalyst Placement: Located before the catalytic converter, it delivers early oxygen data for precise fuel mixture control and emissions regulation.
• Robust Construction: Built with high‑temperature materials to withstand exhaust temperatures up to 600 °C, guaranteeing long service life even under demanding operating conditions.
• Fast Response Time: The sensor’s ceramic element reacts quickly to changes in exhaust composition, allowing the engine control unit (ECU) to adjust fuel delivery in real time.
• High Accuracy: Provides precise voltage output that correlates directly with oxygen concentration, enabling the ECU to maintain optimal air‑fuel ratios and reduce harmful emissions.

Compatibility Overview

The Bosch 0258017467 is tailored for a range of Ford models, including:

• Ford Focus III (Mk3) – 1.0 L EcoBoost engines from 2014‑2020.
• Ford C‑Max II – 1.0 L EcoBoost variants from 2015‑2022.
• Ford Transit Connect & Tourneo Connect – 1.0 L EcoBoost engines, 2013‑present.
• Ford Grand C‑Max – 1.0 L EcoBoost models from 2015‑2022.
• Ford Focus Mk3 (pre‑Catalyst) – 1.0 L engines, 2014‑2020.

Each model benefits from the sensor’s vehicle‑specific connector, eliminating wiring mismatches and ensuring reliable signal transmission to the ECU.

Installation Highlights

• Direct Fitment: The sensor can be swapped in place of the original unit without modification, thanks to its matching connector size and shape.
• Secure Mounting: A dedicated bracket holds the sensor firmly against the exhaust manifold, preventing vibration damage.
• Easy Wiring: The 5‑wire harness connects directly to the vehicle’s ECU harness, with no need for splicing or soldering.
• Temperature‑Resistant Seals: Gaskets are engineered to maintain a tight seal under high exhaust temperatures, preventing coolant leaks and ensuring sensor longevity.

Performance Benefits

By delivering accurate oxygen readings early in the exhaust stream, the Bosch 0258017467 enables:

• Optimized Fuel Economy: Precise air‑fuel mixture control reduces fuel consumption by up to 5% compared to older sensors.
• Lower Emissions: The ECU can adjust combustion parameters more effectively, cutting NOx and CO₂ emissions in line with regulatory standards.
• Enhanced Engine Longevity: Consistent mixture control protects catalytic converters from premature failure caused by rich or lean conditions.
• Improved Driving Dynamics: Rapid sensor response translates to smoother throttle behavior and reduced hesitation during acceleration.
