Cost to replace O2 sensor
My 03 A4 1.8T just threw code P0420, looks like either the catalytic converter or one of the O2 sensors in front of or behind it is bad. The catalytic converter is covered by my 8 year/80,000 mile emissions performance warranty, however according to the dealer, the O2 sensors are not. Any idea how much it costs to have one of the O2 sensors replaced? From what I remember hearing in the past, its not too expensive.

my rear one is bad, cost at the dealer for the part alone is $198.. you can get it online for about half that... im sure they will charge two to three hours labor,plus $100+ to clear the code so if the dealer does it, i would say $500 minimum

Bosch oxygen sensor is about 125 dollars over the net. A local garage can change it and would probably charge 75 dollars labor. It is a simple DIY, except that the sensor is usually frozen in place with rust. After ripping every muscle in my arm, I gave up and had my garage take it out.

I think there was a thread like this on one of the other audi forums recently. I believe they figured out that the O2 sensor is covered under the 8/80k warranty. They had to contact AoA to get it taken care of.
Take a look for that thread. it may save you some $$.
