Bosch is the OEM
Current Volvos:
1998 V70 T5, 112k sat 5 years, still in mechanical coma (finally at the top of the pile )
2004 XC90 T6 AWD: 186k, 60 on transaxle ( traded in )
1998 POS70 N/A: DD/training aid, 236k but really about 240k, I think...ABS module( passed on to son who sold it)

I came across brands such as "Replacement," "Walker," and "Denso." In addition to Bosch. Bosch is the one I will choose then. Thank you so much for your help.

Walker is aftermarket and Denso is Oem for '99+.

Aftermarket sensors just don't work in our cars....or work but send wrong data to ecu.

Actually Walker doesn't make a sensor themselves, they stick a part made by someone else in their box. It would be interesting to open the Walker box and see what it really is. I have been pleasantly surprised by some of the house brands at the auto parts stores when I find that it actually is a Bosch part.

Ok, thanks. Does any one have the actual part numbers for the O2 sensor(s) up and down? I want to get the right one.

For a 97 850 it is Bosch 15097 and Bosch 15062. Amazon is one good source, but most of the online vendors sell them.

gone: '96 NA 850 210k, '98 NA V70 182k, '98 S70 NA 225k, '96 855 NA 169k

So in your opinion will the Bosch 15097 work?
