got a CEL today (been getting them, and resetting them - thought it was my cat) it turns out it is the O2 Sensor that needs replacing itself. Told the dealer not to bother, as it is going in for its 108k service soon anyway.

But thought - can I use a second hand one, like get it off a breaker? or are they cheap as chips anyway?

 

O2 sensor is

How much ?????
As per tebs post on the GB thread, can you get a simulator to just send an all is fine signal ?

If not breakers is definately the way to go !

 

Thanks folks

Now i know what it looks like so i can see if any breakers got em

might also try HTG

 

Will contact you soon.

 

Thanks for the AB

 

Do you have a definitive list of all (if any more) failures in 108,000 miles....

Inpressive if this is the only failure (rather than warranty work).

 

Only other was my timing chain going paul, under warranty

I am still on original clutch too

btw The 02 sensor MIGHT be covered under my extended warranty need to check and try a claim

 

AE - On turbo cars the O2 can fail very quickly. A lot of people use this place - www.cats-direct.com

For a fraction of the cost. I would prefer a breaker though, as they have the correct connector block on there. Lambda wires can't be soldered so you end up fiddling around a bit. Can be done though!
