All depends how what sort of fuel you run and how rich you run.

Certain fuel additives kill em quicker and so do rich mixtures. If you seal you exhaust with something that contains silicone they will dye very fast!

I would say 3 months of driving in a rich car or 30k miles in a VW golf 1.8t which is where the bosch one is used as an OE part.

According to my Bosch literature, they last 500 hours average !

Mine lasted about 3 hours as I used ALS on it
