oxygen sensor wires too short

[ray bear]

Replaced my two pre cat sensors on my redline SSV ute with NTK sensors and #2 bank was ok but the wire on the #1 bank was short with no slack at all and was unable to get a bit of slack in the loom but the sensor that I replaced was almost the same , is this how they all are, was almost going to lengthen the wire but thought twice about it . cheers Ray

Are you running the factory exhaust?
Harness extensions are available for aftermarket exhausts which re-positioned the cats further downstream.
Or you could try genuine Bosch sensors.

Thank you I have only just worked it out that the Bosch are considerably longer, Repco had a clearance sale on the KTN sensors for $50 so I jumped in without doing my homework, I will look for the extensions or maybe extend mine and yes the redline has the stainless Malloo system on it from new . Thanks for the reply Ray

There's probably a good reason Repco are clearing stock of NTK sensors.

Always use Bosch. No headaches.

Went through the same drama.. two different codes for sensors of either 30mm or 40mm.. I just needed one 40mm for passenger side pre cat.. retarded
Longer one was cheaper too !?

I just went through Veals here in WA.. not as cheap as online but good to have a conversation with a human. They took back the shorter one and swapped it for the longer no drama.. order before 0800 and get it by 1200.. PEC or Holmart are decent online, just need the correct part number. 40mm lead is the one

The bigger question on your car is what is currently installed ?!?
I would assume the Dec 2011 up ones BUT
