Default Code 32 Oxygen/Lambda sensor

I had the Check Engine light flash up today, I did the connect error code connectors and it came up with code 32.

Will I be alright driving around in the short term till I get a new sensor and is Subaru the best place to buy one?

When O2 sensors fail, they invariably run rich off boost - so you're safe. Fuel consumption will suffer a bit though.

A lot of people buy universal replacements at about £40 or so - but can't guarantee the longevity of them. Some specialists only really recommend the genuine Subaru one as it will invariably last many years; although not exactly cheap .

If you get an OEM one direct from Subaru it's gonna cost the most. Zen - amongst others - stock OEM spec ones. Still not cheap, but possibly haven't quite got the same added mark-up cost added to it

Cheers for the info

I disconnected the battery last night for an hour, drove to work today and did the error check and no errors flashed up?! Car feels fine as well
