o2 Sensor

[XaMaX]

Any of u guys had this problem before?

the mech has checked mine and he says mine is faulty. need to change one.

anyone knows where could i get 1 with a reasonable price?

 

[Barbarian]

it cost around RM400 for the zzt model......

 

[ir1z]

common thing to happen, usually cost around RM500++

 

[Barbarian]

RM500+ is including installation I guess....

mind sharing the symptoms on which led the mechanic to changing the O2 sensor?

 

[ir1z]

its just as simple as the damn thing not working ie. ur engine check light is on and the check with the mechanich device shows the sensor non-functioning. Merely due to wear and tear of the cars usage.

 

[Barbarian]

you will get horrible fuel consumption.....

 

[ir1z]

you will get horrible fuel consumption.....

Thats the side effect when ur 02 sensor is busted

Barbarian,

mind telling me where to get it?


Zues,

the check engine light is on...and the mech plugin in a device n it says o2 something...he then deletes the message and the check engine light is gone.

then, after 5 minutes driving, the check engine light is on back. had it checked again and its the same error. so, the mech says the 02 sensor is faulty.

last time i got it from excool near sunway. Does a very good job on electrical things. And it does cost you around 500++ include installation

ic...

btw, is it only the engine light issue...or the driving experience is different, horrible fuel consumption and so on?

 

[XaMaX]

Zues,

so far, its only the light issue to me. fuel consumption is still the same. however, im only afraid it will lead from 1 error to another. *touch wood*


another question,

is it normal when u start ur car in the morning, the whole car seems to vibrate and the engine sound seems louder than usual? after 5~10 mins...no more vibrate. mine is an auto..so...

pls do share ur experience.

if car starts to vibrates, i suspect its the engine mounts.....engine seems louder? is normal in cold starts

 

[XaMaX]

ok...thx..i'll see to it

 

[XaMaX]

Ok...i got some confusion..

how many o2 sensors a celica have? 1 or 2?

can anyone give me the sensor model no. so i can get the right one to change?

 

[ir1z]

different models different. if not mistaken vvtli has 1 vvti has 2. But still same type no different between models. Just number of sensors only. If u go sunway tomorow i can show u a sample of the sensor. Cuz ill be there in the mornin looking for mufflers

 

[XaMaX]
