Warning engine lights on between 40 and 60 km/h

Oxygen sensors ... annoying ... easy to replace yourself .. cost like $70

if your inlet manifold has a coolant leak from bad gasket it creates steam that when hits the sensor will corrode and kill them quickly ...

so theres a tip for ya all ... going thru o2 sensors more than usual ... get ya inlet manifold gasket replaced..

I get this car with 320000 km and now she's got 331000 and never had this code 13 before. I will check but I don't think I've got a problem with the gasket. The sensor is quite clean.

Wait to find a multimeter to test the

hummm, finaly found the pb?? I have a crack on the third pipe on the exaust manifold!!
And my fuel consomption is nearly twice l!!

If someone know a wrecker around cairns....

considering you taking them off anyway, put extractors on. =D

follow the wires look for short surcut

So, I got a new oxygen sensor (genuine part), one wire for VN modele, VH engine number but it's quite different as the old one I had before (it's like the 2 or 4 wires model)

Do you think it's normal? what should I do?

anyway, mine was totaly ****ed so I had to change it

And my pb is still there, code 13!
****!
Will check this afternoon with a multimeter

i dont know weather you mean you had a 1 wire sensor and they gave you a 4 wire or the other way round LOL.but did you reset the ecu after you fitted the new sensor the code will stay there till you do

 

[zai]

Huumm reset the ECU, NO.

= disconnect the battery or unplug the ecu fuse for a minute or so?

 

[delcowizzid]

yip dissconnect the battery for 5 mins
