Technical Notes:
This is a 4-wire heated oxygen sensor, commonly referred to as a "diagnostic probe" in BMW applications
Designed to monitor catalytic converter efficiency by measuring oxygen content after the catalyst
The centre ceramic element is composed of Zirconium Oxide, Alumina, and Yttrium Oxide, with a platinum coating applied using vapour deposition
A spinel coating on the outer platinum layer prevents damage from solid exhaust particles

Consider replacing your Lambda Sensor if you experience any of the following:
Performance-Related Symptoms:
Illuminated Check Engine Light – OBD-II fault codes related to oxygen sensor circuit or catalyst efficiency (e.g., P0420, P0130-P0167 range)
Incorrect Mixture Control – The engine ECU receives inaccurate data, leading to improper fuel trim adjustments
Poor Driveability – Hesitation, stumbling, or lack of power during acceleration
Exhaust & Emissions Symptoms:
High Emissions – Failed emissions test due to incorrect combustion
Failed Catalytic Converter Efficiency – As a downstream sensor, failure may incorrectly report converter performance
Increased Fuel Consumption – The ECU may default to rich mixture settings
Potential causes of sensor failure:
Contamination – Oil, coolant, or silicone sealants can damage the sensing element
Heater Failure – Electrical failure of the internal heating circuit
Impact Damage – Physical damage from road debris or improper handling during installation
Normal wear and tear over mileage
1. Confirm Fitment Before Purchasing
This is a direct-fit sensor exclusively for BMW Group vehicles (BMW, MINI) with specific 4-pin oval connector
Verify that your vehicle has a B47 or N47 diesel engine – this sensor is NOT for petrol/gasoline engines
This sensor is typically positioned after the catalytic converter (downstream)
Always cross-reference your old sensor's part number and connector shape before ordering
Physical inspection of your original sensor is strongly recommended
2. Engine Code Verification
Compatible engine codes: B47 D20 A, N47 D20 C
Power outputs: 120KW (163HP), 140KW (190HP), 151KW (205HP), 155KW (211HP)
Not compatible with 6-cylinder diesel engines (e.g., 530d) or petrol engines
3. Position in Exhaust System (Upstream vs. Downstream)
This part (13628589104) functions as a post-catalyst diagnostic probe (downstream) for diesel applications
Do not confuse with pre-catalyst sensors – different part numbers apply for upstream positions
Verify the location of your old sensor before ordering
4. Installation Tips
Allow the exhaust system to cool completely before removal to avoid burns and prevent thread damage
Use an O2 sensor socket (22mm or 7/8") to prevent stripping the sensor during removal/installation
Apply anti-seize compound to the threads of the new sensor (avoiding the sensor tip) to prevent seizing in the exhaust bung
Do not use silicone sealants near the exhaust system – silicone contamination will destroy the sensor
Avoid touching the sensor tip – oils from your skin can contaminate the sensing element
Do not drop the sensor – the ceramic element can crack upon impact
Tighten to the correct torque – Typically 40-50 Nm (30-37 ft-lb)
5. Replacement Interval
Lambda sensors degrade over time, often without triggering immediate fault codes
Replacement every 100,000 miles (160,000 km) is recommended to maintain:
Optimal fuel efficiency
Catalytic converter health and longevity
Lower emissions output
6. Professional Installation Recommended
While this is a direct-fit part, professional installation is recommended if you are not experienced with automotive exhaust systems
After replacement, the ECU may need to be reset or adaption values cleared using diagnostic equipment
Improper installation can lead to:
Exhaust leaks around the sensor bung
Cross-threaded or damaged exhaust threads
Sensor damage from contamination or mishandling
Wiring damage from contact with hot exhaust components
7. Required Tools
O2 sensor socket (22mm / 7/8") or deep offset wrench
Ratchet and extension bar (for access)
Anti-seize compound (if not pre-applied)
Jack and jack stands (if under-vehicle access requires lifting)
OBD-II scanner (to clear fault codes and verify operation after replacement)
8. Warranty
Quality aftermarket Lambda Sensors may come with warranty periods (e.g., Lifetime Warranty from certain brands)
Check with your specific retailer for their warranty terms and return policy
Important: Many warranties are voided if the sensor tip shows contamination from improper handling
