Hey Art!
You are roaming like me!
I think we of the BRICKBOARD understand the “end game” with Bosch or any other supplier.
That’ll be to make them all different despite the making all the sensors operate in the same way of creating a signal so close to each other.
The only change is in the boxes they come in.
Just as different as the computer boxes are on the outside with on going fixes in progress.
As you probably know in electronics circuits they can be nearly the same but the components are subject to price and quantity too! The adage is, it’s the same result but different or Two roads to the same places depending on which side of the road you are on?
Add a heater or not to have a heater for lots of extra bucks! The love of dealership markups and bidding among their vendors runs deeper than we can imagine. Every car sold sells more parts!
The head end of oxygen sensors are too identical to be a coincidence!
If you think there is a great difference in the manufacturers costs for these things, think again as the connectors are just as cheap!
Yes, Bosch bought lots of the beginning ideas of fuel injection from Bendix. The early setups filled the whole back seat. Bendix, Delphi and Delco are still big contenders and rub each other’s backs occasionally! In fact, it’s all a global market now!
Would surprise me that since the sensors screw in that they are interchangeable in function.
