w203 Oxygen sensor deal? must see

I see the downstream @ 44.25$
upstream left and right @ 44.25$
Since they are universal are they still OE quality?

See reply to PM re code.
I would not use universal sensors. Only OE listed at Parts geek. Yes they are approx $100. That is a good price. They are $160 each at RMeuropean.
Universal sensors usually play up on Benz.

okay sounds good. im just trying to find out why they are cheaper. should be illegal to sell non OE parts... in my opinion its a waste of resources. make oxygen sensors a price for all markets so more people will buy. r the 44$ sensors non heated?

The cheap 4 wire sensors are heated but they are usually broad spec to suit a number of cars. This can cause crap on a Benz & throw codes endlessly. If money is tight you only need to change the upstream sensors on each bank. The downstream ones just monitor the Cat performance. They have nothing to do with state of tune.
