Ah well, it was just an idea. I suspect speaking Spanish is probably corrupting your English, just the same as my attempts at speaking Croatian are giving me trouble speaking English (although my English is deteriorating much faster than my Croatian improves :oops: )

I mentioned the address thing to my wife and she said one of her friends lived in Costa Rica for a while where her address was "The white house on the corner opposite the chemists" :shock: And stuff got to her! Although I can imagine this would be very hit-and-miss with anything sent international.

Just so long as he doesn't throw it through your window...

Razor wire? It sounds right dodgy there :shock:

See what brands they have any maybe we can come up with some part numbers to try. It might help to know which O2 sensor you need, do you know which it is?

1628 8C or 1628 9S

If in doubt post or pm me your chassis number and we'll see what Service Box says.

Oxygen sensor and check engine light

Post by gray »

lol Yoda is my hero! thanks man! Ya the spanish that i speak everyday sometimes messes me up.

I have service box now, but only basic gives me diagrams and part numbers, but no service schedules, labour, prices or how to..
The O2 sensor is 1628 8c

Thanks

It should give you prices if you double click on the part number/description on the right. It'll add them to a basket and you click on that to go to the invoice, then click on the € and it'll give you the prices. The rest you'd have to pay for unfortunately. I have Service Box back-up along with Sedre (wiring diagrams), it has the "how to"s on there but I can't find much that's any use.
The O2 sensor is 1628 8c
Hopefully that'll help when we find a manufacturer to investigate :twisted:
Thanks
You're welcome! :cheesy:

You may or may not find this useful....

http://ngkntk.co.uk/index.php/technical ... a-sensors/

A generic sensor should be fine, it's the number of wires the sensor has that is the important factor, you must replace like for like, eg, 4 wire to 4 wire etc.

If you can find a Bosch type sensor it will almost certainly be equal to the genuine article, the usual difference between different vehicles is the connector block, so, if you find a sensor with the same colour and number of wires but the connector is different just join the original connector to the wires and you can plug it straight in....note that the sensor may have 2 grey wires so make sure all the wires match their original position.

From experience the orange warning light comes on with a lambda sensor fault, but never seen one go into limp mode.(doesn't mean it doesn't happen, just, I've never seen it!)

You should test the wiring and sensor function first before replacing it, I've had lots of cases of alleged sensor faults turn out to be wiring or other faults.

When i had it into the dealer last week or so they said the sensor was bad as pp2000 had a code for it
But how can i check? i dont have a osciliscope.. sp or a multimeter here in the DR.

Lambda should give around 0.7v

Wiring continuity you ca test with a torch and a length of wire
Remember - it only takes a few inches of water to drown a 406 don't make the same mistake I made! The V6 Exec is no more.

Just look for any new Bosch Universal 4-wire oxygen sensor, with green connector. It will do the work. It works for both upstream and downstream sensor. For downstream sensor (which should be blue connector), all you need to do is to modify the green connector to enter the downstream connector from the engine wiring harness.

I think the Peugeot part number on o2 sensor is there to differentiate the length of o2 wires, depending on the location of the sensor on the exhaust pipe, exhaust manifold or catalytic converter.

Each Universal Bosch oxygen sensor has 4 wires (2 whites, 1 black & 1 grey). The 2 whites wires are for the heater part of the o2. The black wire is the ECU signal wire, while the grey wire is for ground.

Hope that helps.
