Just had eml light turn on and got code p0130 from scanner. Is sensor 1 the one before or after cat.

Im surprised as both my sensors are under 2 years old im wondering if the dreaded e5 fuel has anything to do with it.

I don't know if the E10 will have anything to do with it. Is it possible for a cable to have detached from one of these sensors?

yeah i think its the one under the car so will have to go for a crawl make sure its plugged in okay or if the cable has got damaged then few other things to check its bloody furbie voodoo you do one thing and another appears.

Yep. Changed the speakers all round since the driver's side one had blown and now my driver's side front door is leaking.

 

Plus my interior door pull isn't sitting right, so I need to get the door card off to fix that too.

Might be the old leaking door carriers thing mate well known with the furbies i did all mine as had the backs leaking when i got the car so sealed them all although ive since had to replace the drivers carrier as the window mech packed up, was only £25 for the whole carrier so did both sides to be on the safe side lol.

Can any of you knowledgeable guys confirm sensor 1 is the under car one or the under bonnet one please ???

Yep, it's the seal as it's obviously been redone by Stevie Wonder...

 

I commented on it when I had the door card off earlier on, but didn't think it'd be that bad.

Under bonnet.

Stewartasb, it wont be E10, or E5, we had all this worry and scaremongering 20 years ago with unleaded petrol, Skodas are not just made for the UK market, but as a reassurance. -

Škoda

E10 petrol is cleared for use in all ŠKODA vehicles with petrol engines with the following exceptions:

• Felicia 1.3 litre OHV (40kw and 50kW) engines in the production years 1994 to 2001
• Other ŠKODA models using the 1.3 litre OHV engines produced prior to 1994.

https://check-vehicle-compatibility-e10-petrol.service.gov.uk/manufacturer/Škoda

 

Do checking the sensor is fitted fully and correctly, if you want check that it's clean, also check you have no air leaks, hoses cracked or off, and that other sensors before this are clean, as well as obviously servicing requirements of timely oil, oil filter, plugs air filter changes.

 

If two years ago you bought lower quality (regardless of price) sensors then they can play up and cause problems, I'm not sure that VAG injectors are the best either, sometimes it's better getting aftermarket OEM parts as car manufacturers can cut corners in vehicle production.

 

I'm old enough to remember that when VW first took over Skoda the build quality actually dropped! 😉

speeling and stuff

I've had a good check of the vacuum hoses etc and reseated the o2 sensor unplugged it and used some contact cleaner on pins etc then reset the code but not been back out so hopefully tomorrow it stays off thanks as always for the advice.

I don't know if the way you drive could have anything to do with it? It could be choked up with soot, especially if you're gentle with the car.

Yes, I was also thinking of checking the sensor probe end for dirt but good to check and clean electric connection point too.  Same for the sensor(s) before this one too, same as computer GIGO, for engine dirt in dirt out or SISO.

I usually just give it a wee bit of welly to prevent soot buildup on mine, at least once on a journey, usually coming from a 40 on my usual route to national speed limit (NSL), just leave in third until doing NSL then into fifth. Only having 64hp in a heavy yet small car means I'm more obligated to give it welly to keep up with quick things... like milkfloats...

Edited 11 November, 20214 yr by AnnoyingPentium

As long as it's safe to do so there's no law (is there?) against how fast you accelerate, you could also leave it in 4th for NSL for a while if you wanted.

 

Another idea that might cause some national or county twinges is to occasionally or as regularly as wanted to use the higher priced petrol that contains additional cleaning additives (lower f'an'ol and higher octane too) or if you don't believe it'll blow your engine perhaps a good quality additive with good cleaning properties.  Of course both these things can go against faiths and beliefs so are not for everyone.

Don't worry about the numbers on the dial, feel the sense of achievement.

 

I have to post a letter of intent to overtake.

Nope, couldn't keep up with it. Disappeared o'er the horizon too quickly.

Pre-cat means something different to us oldies.

 

Talking of catalytic converters my neighbour's son-in-law got his stolen from his old car, I knew this was going on in USA but not heard of it here for a long time until now.

I know that there was a thread on here where a cat was nicked from the underside of a Honda Jazz IIRC.

That's part of the reason for the move to mani-cats, they're basically impossible to steal.

It's a better move, for sure. 

Cat thefts by me are terrible one guy died 2 weeks ago the jack failed and he got crushed guy came out next morning to go to work to find a pair of legs sticking out under his car I would like to say I felt sorry for the dead guy but in all honesty don't be a stealing scum bag lol. I've not driven the car much last 2 weeks as been in my main car so will give it a blast down the motorway tomorrow for 10 miles.

Give it welly, and disregard the fact it's knocking back petrol like my mate with whisky shots...

Lol this car is stone cold sober compared to my other car which is why I'm starting to use this more with these fuel prices atm.
