Hi everyone. Does anyone have any tips to make changing the right side o2 sensor on a vy ecotec? Any tips will be appreciated. Gus.
Awesome thanks.From experience, I have never had an O2 sensor strip when cold, only when warm. Undo it when it's dead cold. Spray it with some sort of penetrating oil, WD40, CRC, doesn't matter. Let it sit for about 10 minutes. Use the ring end of a 22mm or 7/8" spanner, disconnect the plug and it fits through the ring. Make sure the nut of the sensor is in the centre of the spanner, get a good grip of the spanner and give it a good hard sharp pull. It should then screw out by hand.
Thanks for your reply. Yeah i got that brand sensor. Any tips for disconnecting the clip? It looks like a bugger. Gus.Just replaced mine had no problem removing them with a 22mm ring spanner, no WD 40 or similar needed, hardest part was getting to the connectors to remove and connect. Hint if your unable to undo it with your hands and arms your foot is the way to go, legs are more stronger just lean back and push in the right direction, drivers side to the back and left towards the front . Also don't buy cheap get a good brand I used the NTK made by NGK.
