[QUOTE="haywire, post: 26104, member: 16474"] Hi all,Silly me has bought wrong length Bosch Premium o2 sensors. I bought 2 E39 pre-cat o2 sensor from a US seller knowing full well its a US LHD version. A fellow forummer has bought post-cats from them and it fits perfectly and I assumed that the pre-cats should fit too.Upon arrival I noticed that it is considerably shorter. Later check on the RealOEM reveals that LHD o2 sensors have 320mm long harness, while the RHD ones have 570mm harness (I'm 250mm short). Don't ask why I didn't check earlier. Totally my fault.Contacted the seller and he is willing to refund me the price of the o2 sensors. However, I paid $34 for postage, and I will need to pay some more for the return postage and I still need to buy a set of o2 sensors. Thats quite a loss and I'm trying to avoid that.Guys at Optimum suggested cutting the new harness and connect to the old o2 sensor harness. However, these things should not be soldered and needs a clean connection, protected from heat.I have a product that could work, which is Posi-Lock[IMG]http://www.4hd.net/images/products_full/9myhoc85qhjv.jpg[/IMG]Does anyone know if this product (or similar ones) are available in KL?
