O2 sensor question

[Khyron]

Girl at work blew her o2 sensor in her VR6 - I know the MAF is in the airbox, and theres 2 o2 sensors...but where are they?

Anyone know how you change your front or rear o2 sensor? I'm amazed it's never come up in any of my reading :mrscrewy:

Front and Rear O2 sensors. My rear O2 is always acting up. I was thinking about even unplugging my rear o2 and tucking it away as this may rid me of my damn CEL.

Did this start after you installed the dp?

Yup

I remember you posting something like that after you got the dp installed. I guess you haven't figured out why the O2 is acting up? Bad sensor or the dp changed something?

One O2 sensor is in the downpipe (before the CAT) and the other is after the CAT... you will be able to see the two sensors once you get under the car! :thumbsup:

Ah cool thx - is replacing them a normal guy job or does it involve dropping the exhaust or something weird? She's reluctant to give the stealership more money - maybe concept one? Her hubby said there's no way a normal wrench can get at the first one?

K I'll tell her to give them a ring and save the 1+ hr dealer charge.

All you need is one of those big sockets with a slit down the side for the o2 wire to slide into and changing the o2 sensors isn't too bad.

Hands up everyone with a big socket with a slit down the side.
