PCM Diagnostics & Tuning - AEM WB sensor #

My AEM WB started to crap out on my today. So I need a new sensor (this one is 2.5 years old). I know that the original sensor is the Bosch 4.2LSU (30-2001) sensor, but after doing some research I found that Bosch #17018 looks to be the same sensor. It is titled as a "OE fit Wideband sensor." The difference is the price, $70-80 for the 30-2001 and $47 for the 17018. The look exactly the same. I would post pic's but my work computer is being stupid...

So has anyone ever used the 17018 sensor with the AEM WB?

Anyone?

Basically you are saying they are all the same? Then why is the one specifically label 17018 $30 cheaper? Just marketing b/c most people wont think to look further?

17018 is a OE number, and does not have aems markup on it...

Gotcha. Thanks for the info, it is fuckin ridiculous they mark it up like that despite it being the same sensor.

So did you try it and find they are the same ?
