Stock O2 sensors are wideband. The Bosch is just an aftermarket replacement for the OEM sensor. Assuming that the auto parts store or wherever you got the sensor gave you the correct one it will work fine.

I've only purchaced a couple O2 sensors in my life, but that sounds like a good price to me! Esp for a wideband. I dont' think you want to go too "generic" on O2 sensors, otherwise you may be in the same situation a year later!

we've got all the replacement sensors offered individually and as a set on our site if you need:

for 03-04 + cars:

for 05+ cars:

the split year cars (04.5) get a bit confusing as it varies by build date. Easiest way to tell is snap a quick picture of the plug and I can let you know which you need

I am attempting to take pictures for you but cannot figure out how to take the plug out of its female plug side assuming thats what you need to see to tell, any idea how to properly remove and replace the plug?
