Car Parts Warehouse is the host of all quality replacement parts. Audi, the German-made vehicles are one of the luxurious brands in the word. All the parts are combined together for the proper functioning of the vehicle. Oxygen sensor is an electronic device which does the work of sensing the amount of oxygen present for the combustion of the fuel. The sensor in the Audi car does not only measure the oxygen concentration, but it also searches for the amount of oxygen required to oxidize the exhaust gas.

The functionality of the Audi 100 oxygen sensor in an Audi car is to calculate the air fuel mixture ratio to run the engine efficiently. It also tries to reduce the emission coming from the engine. When we look into the technical side, a perfect ratio is calculated when the engine burns the gasoline in the presence of oxygen it gives a gasoline - oxygen ratio of 14:7:1. But this ratio varies if there is any increase in amount of hydrogen or carbon in the fuel. There are times when the air ratio is less, the combustion will leave some fuel unburnt. This fuel is considered to be toxic, as its unburned. If the fuel contains more air to its perfect ratio, it will result in excess of oxygen, which is defined as lean mixture. Running an engine with less mixture of fuel is not advisable and at the same time it can also damage your engine very badly.
