I ordered through Amazon for $126 vs. FCP and others listing the same part for about $200. The original Volvo can be had for roughly $200 and change.

The illustration on Amazon, FCP and IPD are all the same. And they each sell the direct-fit Bosch. The part I received from Amazon has the exact connector, the cable length is correct and most of the sensor body is true to the picture. However the actual sensor tip looks a little different. Instead of a sharp-shouldered cylinder tip with holes around the circumference, this tip is bullet shaped with an end-opening. It has holes around the circumference, at the base of the tip, but the end is rounded and has a single opening. Bosch's website matches the part number, but they do not have a picture. None of the pictures on Bosch's website match what I have. Here is how they list it:

My questions are:

1. Has anyone used an 'exact fit' 'oe type' with good results?
2. Is this the same part that original volvo supplies for this car, or is this a different sensor they sell for aftermarket?
