just make sure the car has been sitting for atleast a hour before u attempt to change it... or you'll burn yourself..

if ur looking for a replacement sensor remeber its the 1 wire o2 sensor

is it the same case for VP's? i was looking through my service book last night and noticed that mine has never been changed :my:

130,000kms / 14yrs without a replacement oxygen sensor!!!!!!!!!! ebay here we come...

How do i know if mine needs changing? i have had my car for 1 n half years now and have not changed it and im not sure if its ever been changed. is it as simple as screw out the old one and put the new one in?? How often are they required to be changed? cheers.

Every 70,000km i think you could change them. If you car is going bad on economy it might be the sensor it also might not be.
There generally $80. VN S1 was 1 wire and VNII to VP's were 2 wire sensors i think.

But Wogski don't mean to sound like a prick but there is millions on this topic in search, Even pic's I'm sure. It's a popular topic with buick V6's.

My VP is 2 wire, all you need to do is have a look at your actual sensor to see what it is before you buy a new one.

Yeh, I thought i may aswell do my sensor a while back, but ti didnt make any economy difference. The main reason I replaced it was too see if it stopped the engine light coming on because of my new pacemakers. It did stop the light, so im happy i replaced it. I just went into repco during my 15 min morning tea and bought one , jacked up one side in the parking lot, unscrewed it and replaced it. done.

well i asked around some auto shops today, they were selling the sensors for $70, so i went on oztion.com.au and bought one for $35 plus $6 for express post....saved myself almost $30...score!
