Title: Oxygen Sensor - intermittant fault
Post by: granthar on 13 April 2005, 10:53

Boght the OBD cable and VW Tools software. Ran the diagnostics and it said I have an itermittanr fault on the oxygen sensor???
Is this easy to replace and where is it? is it on the catalytic converter?

It should be mounted in the front of the cat.
It may or may not be easy to remove, depends if its seized in.
Get one of those cut out sockets for the job, will reduce the risk of rounding off the nut.

Take out the sensor first and clean it up then stick it back on and run the test again and if it is knackered they aint that cheep new  so a scrappers maybe the best place to get another.. :grin:
