Replacing Oxygen Sensor

[Idiotboi89]

Hi bros, in this case.. could a oxygen sensor be still good for a car that is 15-16 years old? a B13 Nissan sunny..Manual

 

The car's good for another 10 year at least in its condition, was just wondering what can i do to ensure the car is given the love it needs =)

They said local petrol quite clean, so far their customer didn't need fuel filter replacement...

 

I do remember when I driving a carburattor engine car, the fuel filter is semi-transparent in the engine bay, easy to replace. After changing I shake the old filter to see if its dirty, surprising its clean, no sediments or dirt inside.

 

 

If you know what to look out for, good for you lah.

For those not sure, better change, you don't want to run into a situation one day where suddenly your engine die on you due to fuel starvation.

 

Lucky you only driving the car, if aeroplane engine die in air then become glider liao.....hehe.

Is there such thing as a universal catalyst convertor? hahaa....

 

 

there is... depends on your ride... those car like altis and vios cat converter design is relatively simple and can be replace with aftermarket sports cat converter. where some korean car's cat convertor come in 1 piece with the extractor, you need to change it with extractor all together.. pls note that even there is an aftermarket replacement, whether its LTA friendly or not its another thing...

how do u know that your O2 sensor was defective??? you may want to provide more details? im not too sure how mush does the swift O2 sensor cost, would suggest you check it out from swift / suzuki forum for more details. The members there should have more info.

while driving yestersay, there was a light beside the RPM came out therefore i drove to my WS and they use a handheld system to check and cancel away the light,

he say likely is the O2 sensor but ask me to monitor for the new few driver..

u r rite, www.sgsuzukiclub.com seems to be down... u may want to try your luck at http://www.swiftclubsg.com/forumv1/ instead...

 

what the workshop did is correct. sometimes, the error code may be false alarm... u may monitor for some time until the checklight came out again b4 u do something..

 

[Hermit]

U might be right..

But to be sure yourself, it will be good if u see for yourself wad code was thrown for the CEL.

There might be other factors spoiling the O2,eg bad cat; or may juz be wear n tear..

FYI, I changed my O2 for my 06 subaru last year n nothing come back since.

 

Good luck.

If the shop has a HC C0 gas analyser, the nmech can easily confirm whether it is the lambda sensors or other fuel related problem. Yr feedback on fuel consumption is a good indicator that the lambda sensors are not switching from open to close loop when the engine warm up to operating temp.

If the exhaust CO is very high when the engine temp it up to operating temp then the cause can be due to faulty lambda sensors.

 

PS By measuring the exhaust pipe temps with a non contact thermometer before and after cat , the different can als0 be used to diagnose fault lamdba sensors

i had my O2 sensor spoilt too. went to stamford tyre to check diagnosed and they confirmed. quoted me $270 each.. after sourcing around in the net, i found out there is a second hand shop selling at $50 each only. without installation..

$270 for an O2 sensor is really expensive!! Esp. since stock O2 sensors are narrow range ones and is generally cheaper than wide range sensors.
