Woohoo. Got it off with a long ratchet extension and a lot of force after cutting the pipe. Nearly went flying when it cracked the first time. Then used a ratchet spanner to get the rest off. The plug on the end was slightly different, had a plastic nub in a different place but cut that off and went in fine. Hopefully I can clear the error and somehow force a regen otherwise looks like I’m gonna have to go the garage.

My reader won’t clear it. This sensor is being a really pain in the ass to undo.

So changing the part today. The car has gone into limp home mode today and won’t clear so pretty sure it’s ****ed and will need a garage to clear it.

What do you mean you didn’t film the whole process and put it on YouTube to help us learn from your mistakes?!? 🤣😂🤣 I guess I’ll look forward to lots of swearing next week when I get round to fitting it.

The one I ordered has an orange plug but the sensor has the same right angle look to it. Probably because it’s not an official part but it fits lots of different cars. Not sure when I’ll get chance to fit it but will let you know.

Cool. My dad’s got some ramps, Jack’s and props so sure we’ll have fun. Well I’ll be the one underneath anyway hahah

I’ve just ordered myself a replacement part. Will let you know how I get on.

I'm assuming they're all the same sensor type as (except the Lambda obviously) just in different positions?

Surprised you've ordered a new one as you've clearly got 2 other good ones you've replaced? :-)

Thanks mate, did your error lights come on again? I still need to order the part, being soo lazy about it. I've got some time off soon so will be able to get it sorted then thanks for the update.

Nice one. Probably be the most awkward one to reach that is the right one to replace! The Haynes manual doesn’t even mention these sensors, so frustrating.

Hey. Thanks for the update. according to a person on my post bank 1 sensor 3 is under the Cat and not the ones we’ve took photos of. They provided a diagram but I’m still not 100% sure exactly where it is cos the diagram had a few sensors on it.

I can’t see any wires or plugs in that area. Got any pics of where it is? On mine I can only see 2 plugs/wires. One that’s goes to the sensor that you can see on top and the one I circled.

Is that the one circled in my previous photo?
