Oxygen sensor problem - 07 Jetta 2.0 turbo petrol
Hey, first post and I'm no expert so please be gentle!
Basically, my car (2007 Jetta 2.0 turbo petrol, 147kW, engine code BWA708699) has been misfiring, surging and stuttering intermittently so I scanned it and got code P0135 - 02 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1 Sensor 1) - i.e. the pre-cat oxygen sensor - which was odd because I've never put anything but premium 98 in it. Maybe the previous owners weren't as kind.
Anyway, i was quoted $560 for a replacement sensor and $200+ labour, which I thought was pretty steep given it's a fairly standard fix and the part can be bought for about half the price online.
So I guess I have two questions:
1) I'm not 100% sure of which part to get. I keep seeing what appears to be the correct part - 7/08 2.0L Turbo 4cyl pre-cat 4 wires - however it's stating engine code as CAWB, not BWA. Will this part still work the same, or do I need to find a BWA specific part? Not entirely sure what the difference between a CAWB and BWA engine would be, or how it would affect the 02 sensor. I have seen BWA sensors, however they state 9/05, not 7/08. So again, not sure of the difference.
2) The part I keep seeing online for closer to $240 is a Walker part - so not OEM, but generally a decent brand. Should I even consider this or should I keep looking for a Bosch part (which I haven't been able to find online yet)?
Any advice would be really appreciated.
FYI the parts I'm referring to above are these:

Cheers guys.
