Title: another o2 sensor question
Post by: pitchy on 24 March 2010, 18:58

just looking on euro carparts to order my new sensor for the front (aum) and theres a universal sensor available but with no connector , is it just a matter of cutting the wires/connector off my old one and re-connecting it? theres £40 difference , just seems like a no brainer to me if its that simple?
cheers

just get the proper one that fits ! dont muck around cutting wires etc as they might be damaged further away from where you cut .

tbh if i were you i would get the part that will fit exact afaik with the universal ones it is a case of wiring up to a connector but you need to know what each wire is and where it needs wiring in relation to each other  :laugh: alot more work whereas fitting the correct made to fit part is just that fit connect plug and job done  :wink:
