The new Oxygen Sensor MTE-THOMSON, the most important component of the Fuel Injection system, arrives to the aftermarket with a new technology already applied to vehicles worldwide!<\/p>\n
It’s the Planar Oxygen Sensor NEW GENERATION!<\/p>\n
The new item has an interesting feature because it does NOT HAVE a reference CHAMBER in the ceramic that measures the oxygen in the atmosphere, which with the new technology, is created electronically by the ECU. It would be similar to a Wideband sensor, with a switch between rich and poor fuel mixture as if it were a regular Planar sensor.<\/p>\n
Tis new sensor has also 4 wires, but with the difference that one of them (the heater wire) is RED! This can help when identifying the product in the vehicle.<\/p>\n
Another important feature to be highlighted is that the heater of the new sensor is also different, it is between 3 and 5 ohms at room temperature.<\/p>\n
It is important to emphasize that these technologies are NOT interchangeable. Therefore, we cannot replace one type of sensor with another. It is also worth mentioning that a Universal sensor can NEVER be used.<\/p>\n
The company also explains that a vehicle with the same model, engine and year can contain more than one type of different Oxygen Sensor; what changes is the Fuel Injection System. It is essential to always know the system, know how to differentiate the types of sensor and pay close attention to the application!<\/p>\n
This technology joins the others available in the portfolio such as: Finger, Planar, Air\/Fuel Ratio and Wideband 5 wires.<\/p>\n
The new generation of Planar Oxygen Sensor also has the traditional numbering of MTE-THOMSON which greatly facilitates the application. It will be according to the example: 8401.40.040, where 84 is the technology, 01 is the application, 40 is the number of wires and 040 is the length in centimeters.<\/p>\n
MTE-THOMSON was the first industry to produce Oxygen Sensors in Brazil and is now the ONLY one to offer the five technologies used in the aftermarket. All manufactured in Brazil.<\/p>\n
Below are some important vehicles in the fleet that use the Planar Oxygen Sensor NEW GENERATION:<\/p>\n
Mito, A3,330i, C1, Duster, D\u00f3blo, C-Max, F-Type, Range Rover, CLA 250, Cooper S, Kicks, 108, Kwid, Leon, Fabia , Augo and Golf.<\/p>\n
