"... the box said the part was made in Japan"

Who's to say that NGK isn't the OE supplier for that sensor? An OE 240 caliper wil come in a box saying Germany (Ate). An OE front caliper will be from Girling in England. Roulands brake pads from Denmark, etc. Relatively few OE parts will come in a box marked Sweden, if that's what you were expecting on your O2 sensor.

I've done a bit of online research on this "Titania" sensor that is used on the Regina FI system, and wouldn't be surprised if NGK was the only one making them, since they are used on very few vehicles other than Volvo. Which is probably why Bosch didn't bother.

Do you still have the cheaper NGK part number? I'll need the sensor eventually. But I understand they may well last longer than the Bosch type.
