| Jun 3, 2019 at 20:22 | comment | added | Salvador Martinez | I purchased the spacer from amazon. Here is the link. It has male and female threads and fit really good. amazon.com/dp/B00B1U6I54/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_Cey9CbDH3SGW1 | |

To me, that is indicative of a spacer that is threaded into the O2 sensor bung, with male threads on one end and female on the other. Or possibly just a plan thin unthreaded spacer, though I'm not sure how much thread engagement you'd get with that kind of spacer. | |

I then replaced all 3 oxygen sensors in hope that it would solve the problem. It did not. When I purchased the car 10,000 miles ago we had installed a new universal cat and the P0420 went away for a couple of months, but we didn't know that the car had 2 converters. The first one is next to the turbo and is not replaceable other than buying the whole assembly from VW 3C0254506EX which is $1000. Spacers have given many people success in getting rid of the P0420. | |

| Jun 3, 2019 at 19:35 | comment | added | Salvador Martinez | Yes, but why would the car stall from downstream spacer? | |
