Overview What this part does
Replace your failing nox sensor — also called a nitrogen oxide sensor or exhaust NOx probe — on the Mercedes-Benz NOX with this OEM-spec direct fit. Matching part numbers A0009052809, A2C16442600-291, A0009058511, A3C01067600-609 and A0009059703.
Common signs of failure
A failing NOx sensor on diesel vehicles typically triggers fault codes P220A, P220B, P220C, P229F or P207F (NOx sensor circuit / SCR system efficiency). Drivers see the engine warning light come on, an AdBlue or 'Emissions' warning on the dashboard, often a countdown 'Vehicle will not start in X miles' message, and in many cases the vehicle entering limp mode. Left unaddressed, the ECU will eventually prevent the engine from restarting until the fault is cleared.
Fitment notes
Direct-fit replacement, with the original wiring harness and ECU connector. After fitting, the sensor needs a short re-learn drive cycle (typically 5–20 minutes of motorway driving) for the ECU to calibrate to the new probe. Some manufacturers recommend resetting adaptations with a diagnostic tool — useful but not strictly required on most models. Standard 5 pin connector. Position: Front Or Rear.
Frequently asked questions
Where is the NOx sensor located?
Most diesel vehicles have two NOx sensors: one upstream and one downstream of the SCR catalyst/AdBlue injection point. Identify whether your fault is for the inlet or outlet sensor (the code and live data will tell you) before ordering.
Will it fix my limp-mode and AdBlue warning?
Yes, if the fault code points to the NOx sensor itself. After fitting, clear the codes and complete a regen drive cycle — warnings usually clear within a few miles.
How long do NOx sensors last?
Typically 80,000–120,000 miles, though heavy stop-start driving and poor-quality AdBlue can shorten lifespan. Replacement at the first sign of failure prevents the vehicle locking you out.
