Default PLX O2 sensor

My PLX O2 sensor is reading about 1.0 af off the correct spec. Its been in for awhile and am looking for a replacement. Whats the best replacement for it? Can you order one from PLX or ive heard you can you an 01 VW passot turbo front O2 sensor. Anyone know? Or can you just clean them off? Its covered in carbon!

I have a plx m-300 and ran for about 3 months on e85 and same problem but I'm about 2-3 to high. I wonder if it's in calibration or bad sensor?

I talked to someone from plx and they said to keep sensor atleast 2 feet from engine or turbo to keep it from getting too hot. Also keep it at a 15 degree angle to prevent clogging - but from what I am hearing is to plan on buying a new sensor every year

I've had mine in for 2+ years. I guess I just don't know if it's off because I have nothing to compare it to.
