Your kinding about second hand oxys? Always replace with new ones. $140 for the pair of direct fit 4 wire oxy sensors from repco. Their a 24mm spanner.
Of course new is ideal. But old mate sounded like he was in a hurry, and local stores may not have them in stock. Sensors from a wrecker are a sure find, and would get him out of trouble.
a/f variation will may be an earthing problem with the 02 sensors. There's a how too on this site on how to fix this i believe. Prob worth either trying some 2nd hand sensors, nothing wrong with that to test... or wire up fresh earths for the 02's and see if that works
The problem i have with buying those sort of things from a wrecker is the fact that they dont test them half the time and you COULD end up with faulty sensors and out of pocket. Not saying thats the case with every wrecker. Its abit of a gamble.
Thanks all. Problem seems to be fixed... Moisture where it wasnt ment to be. Now ive got a new problem. I locked my car up and disconnected the battery over night to reset the ecu. And accidentaly closed my bonnet. No luck breaking in so cosidering smashing the rear door window. Would a standard vs commodore window fit on a vs statesman?. Cheers for all the help
no i dont think it will, there is many ways to open the bonnet without pulling the bonnet lever in the car, i believe that you can get a screw driver into the bottom of the bonnet popper and twist it or something and it should pop open.
