Welcome to the forum!!
Please post pics.... and give more information.... we all hear many things, my wife, tells me many things, my kids tells me many things, the powers that be tells me many things and even the weatherman tells me many things, but I need to ask the right question to source the right answer from the correct person... you are at the right place and some of the members have the correct answer, you just need to ask the right question... and post some pics...
But welcome!!
Ask them to prove to you it's broken.
It could be the engine, the fuel injection, electrical, the cat itself or the sensor, ask them to explain which one it is and why.
Is the sensor actually bad or is it giving a reading it shouldn't?
Are they going on a simple error code, or have they tested the sensor?
Is your check engine light on?
In short do not beleive any diagnosis unless you are 100% sure that the part has actually failed, and somebody has shown you they are responding to more than just a computer error code, and have actually verified this or that has failed.

M8 trying to understand what is wrong.
Is there an error code and if so what is it?
Once we hae an error code we can look at what part of the engine and possible causes.
What is actualy wrong with the car, ie: what is it doing or not doing??
02 sensor after cat??? Is the car actually showing symptons of something being wrong??
