Default Hi and Help

New around here and to Subaru and in a spot of bother.

Have a standard 2.0 Legacy 2004

My CEL came on recently.
It doesn't come on until the car has been running for a minute.

Got my mechanic to run diagnostics and came up that lambda sensor no 1 wasn't working.

He ordered and fitted a Prewired Bosch sensor specifically for the car. No change on the CEL front and apparently the same fault.

Any advice?

As long as it was reset with a diagnostic tool there must have been 2 faults i dont think turning of power works on newage as they can store old problems glad you got it sorted

I think on New Age Impreza,Forester(on this i'm pretty sure) or Newer Legacy is direct replacement of O2 sensor Denso not Bosch.
Probably due this you have still CEL....
