01-03-2018, 05:24 PM #1i have yet another faulty 02 sensor in the exhaust! 2nd in 18months! soooo decating the exhaust and removing the sensor seems the logical way forward. but what i want to know is what is causing the sensors to keep failing? is it cos gasses arent escaping properly? so would removing the sensor and putting an 02 simulater in cause any problems that could be underlaying somewhere, or could it just be a faulty cat? please help

i think its the same one not had chance to speak to them properly but the reception bloke seemed to think it was the exhaust sensor

02-03-2018, 04:00 AM #9I was going to ask where you got it from too. Does it say Denso on it, or is that just what the eBay guy said ? I wonder if it could be fake ? I would certainly expect it to last a lot longer than 18 months.

02-03-2018, 08:22 AM #10yeah it had denso stamped at both ends plug and sensor end, like the stamps that are all ready on the parts on the car and look identical. the fault has been located to bank 1 sensor 2, but i cant find the diagram on which sensors is which, can some one point me in the right direction please and yet again lexus are trying to charge me £330.13pence to change the sensor!
