Replace the sensor with genuin holden one and it should be fine, cheers Bob.

It might or might not be a faulty O2 sensor - they do have a service life - so it won't be a bad thing to replace it if it's more than ~ 80 000km old but the codes may simply be because of the LPG. There is another recent thread with a similar question.

If the LPG isn't correctly tuned those codes can set.

Even if the LPG is correctly tuned, the rate at which the mixtures are corrected on LPG will be so slow as to be interpreted by the ECM as a fault. delcowizard has pointed out in the other recent thread that using a two map memcal allows the O2 sensor code conditions to be ignored while running LPG. Otherwise, you just live with it.

What cheap6 said. My VN runs on straight gas and those O2 codes will always come up, no matter what i try, so you just live with it.

Being duel fuel will do the same thing.

Replace them anyway just to be sure, and then have fun on your trip.

The codes can also pop up if the connector to the O2 sensor is buggered. I had this issue with my wagon a few years back when replacing the sensor. It still failed and spat out codes all the time. Finally replaced the connector for it to not have a code again from the o2.

sorry im not very clued up...

so where do i buy a new o2 sensor and how do i fit it, also is it worth me doing the connecter at the same time? easy job?

thanks guys..

Probably best to jump to your other post so everything is in one thread.
