Replacing 02 Sensor

[nathanashton]

Hi Guys,

Been having some dramas with my 93 VP Calais. Mainly a really rough, unsteady idle. Cleaned the IAC and throttle body, checked all the plugs etc and ran a diagnostic. Got a Code 13. I'm going to replace the O2 Sensor and see if that helps.

How hard is it to replace? I know a little about cars and my brother knows a fair bit. Is it a simple task to do? I'd rather have a go myself before paying someone else to mess around with it.

Cheers

very very easy. undo the plug and then undo the sensor. the once unscrewed screw in the new one and pulg the wire in.. done..

I took mine out the otherday to see what condition it was in. As far as i can remember u need a 22-24mm spanner and i managed to get to it from the engine bay, some from under neath. im also getting a new one off ebay for $30 delivered, pretty good price as far as i could see, try this link if u want one http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NEW-UNIVERSAL...QQcmdZViewItem

Thanks for the quick replies. Sounds like something I can do myself this weekend.
