Pair of NOx Nitrogen Oxide Sensors for Vauxhall/Opel Insignia A & Zafira Tourer 2.0 CDTi

The Pair of NOx (Nitrogen Oxide) Sensors – OEM 55487663 & 55495340 is a complete emissions control sensor set specifically designed for Vauxhall/Opel Insignia B and Zafira Tourer C vehicles equipped with the 2.0 CDTi diesel engine. These NOx sensors measure nitrogen oxide levels in the exhaust gases at two key positions — before and after the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system — and relay this data to the vehicle’s engine control unit (ECU). Using both sensors helps the ECU optimise AdBlue dosing, improve combustion efficiency, and ensure compliance with emissions regulations while maintaining engine performance and reducing harmful pollutants.

Key Benefits

• OEM-Referenced Pair: Supplied as a matched sensor set covering both NOx positions (pre-SCR and post-SCR), built to fit vehicles originally equipped with OE part numbers 55487663 & 55495340 — ensuring correct function and wiring compatibility.

• Enhanced Emissions Control: By providing accurate readings of nitrogen oxide in exhaust gases, these sensors help the ECU fine-tune SCR and combustion strategies, reducing harmful NOx emissions and supporting cleaner exhaust output.

• Restores Engine & ECU Performance: Faulty or degraded NOx sensors can trigger warning lights, reduced power modes, inefficiencies in fuel use and trouble codes related to SCR performance — replacing them with a pair addresses these issues.

• Durable Diesel-Grade Construction: Designed to withstand high heat, corrosive exhaust environments and long-term use, ensuring reliable performance over extended distances and driving conditions.

• Wide Compatibility on Diesel Models: Ideal for Vauxhall/Opel Insignia B (Z18) and Zafira Tourer C models with the 2.0 CDTi diesel engine (e.g., B20DTH / D20DTH variants) — check your exact engine and old sensor numbers to confirm fitment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: What does a NOx sensor do?
A NOx (Nitrogen Oxide) sensor measures levels of nitrogen oxides in the exhaust and sends that data to the ECU, which uses it to regulate the SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system and improve emissions control.

Q2: Why does this product include two sensors?
Diesel vehicles equipped with SCR typically use two NOx sensors — one before and one after the SCR catalyst. This dual setup lets the ECU monitor how effectively the SCR system reduces NOx emissions.

Q3: Which vehicles are these sensors compatible with?
This NOx sensor pair fits Vauxhall/Opel Insignia B (Z18) and Zafira Tourer C 2.0 CDTi diesel models. They are most common on cars from about 2017 onwards with 2.0 litre CDTi engines — verifying your old part number and engine code is recommended.

Q4: What are signs the NOx sensors are failing?
Typical symptoms include the check engine or emissions warning light, reduced performance, poor fuel economy, failed emissions tests or SCR-related fault codes — often due to incorrect NOx readings or sensor degradation.

Q5: Is replacing both sensors necessary?
Yes — replacing both sensors together ensures the emissions system works correctly and avoids imbalance in readings that can compromise SCR function or trigger ECU errors.
