Martin OK mate, do you use the car everyday or can it be left until the weekend? Steve |
I have no choice but to use it unfortunatly as I have no other way to get to work :(
The weekend is fine though Steve, the car feels ok with no unusual noises or smells coming from the engine so am hoping its only a sensor that has gone on the fritz. Can I take it that you have a way of reading the codes mate? |
I have a OBD reader mate thats all. Gives you a heads up before going to someone like FB Tuning to get it sorted and so on?
If it drives and your feel confident I can meet you halfway or something shortly? Steve |
Where are you based mate?
|
I'm Sunbury/Ashford matey.
Steve |
Ok mate, would meeting at mags' shop on Saturday be possible as weekday evenings are difficult?
|
YHPM.
Mags is a fag. He'll take you to a Gaybar. Steve |
:lol: :lol:

Get one of these and use the 30 day return option:thumb:

Sorted now thanks to Steve. Turns out it was the pre-turbo O2 sensor, Steve deleted the fault off and the light hasn't come back on yet so fingers crossed it just spacked out for a bit :wonder:
Thanks again Steve for your help :notworthy |
Is that the downpipe one. Mine did this and came back on after spirited runs; the sensor may be on its way out, 50k is a good life and yours isn't that far off but it is old. You can get them for about £140 - don't pay Subaru's £350 price tag:eek:

Thanks again Steve for your help :notworthy Not a problem at all mate. Nice to meet you. :thumb: I'd be tempted to give it a clean first mate. As Jon says SUBARU want silly money. Try Import Car Parts mate http://www.importcarparts.co.uk/parts.asp Steve |

What was the actual fault code number?
Glad to see it's all hunky dory :) |
Hi mate. Work in Berkhamsted near you. Will have my reader in my car tomorrow. Quite happy if you wanna pm me and drop by to use my reader tomorrow? Andy

Might take you up on the offer when I fit it if the code needs deleting again though :thumb: Is it worth buying secondhand as am a bit skint at the moment after paying for my car tax? :( |
I have had a look on eBay and there are quite a few different types and prices of sensor.
There are lots of three and four wire sensors, I am guessing but are the pre-turbo four wire and the post-turbo three? There are four wire sensors for £80 which would be less of a dent on my wallet??? Guess it's karma for me thinking of selling up ;) |

After a little searching on here I have found this link to the sensor I think I need and it's cheaper than importcarparts :luxhello:

No worries mate. Just give me a bell if you need me to reset or check codes. Any time. Andy

If your running decat & car is mapped you might be better off just turning sensor input off in Ecu.

You cannot get a universal for the pre-cat sensor - it has to be the Denso one otherwise it won't work. Get that one for £80-ish quid and you'll need a 24mm spanner iirc.
Think I have got a spanner that big floating around at home :wonder: |
