Hi Guys
I am indespirate need of 2 new oxygen sensors, the 5 wire Wide band oxygen sensors found on the manifold .

Tried everywhere and cant get them, Dealers have it but its over R3800 each! Other places R1200 but no stock and over a month for delivery.

Where can i buy them online? Any UK or US stores or any stores that are safe and reliable? That any of you guys have used before with quick delivery and no problems?

Please let me know. the cars drinking fuel like no tomorrow.

Milage on the car is 165 000 kms, and its a 2002 model . Did a scan and it picked up that 3 sensors were gone. I managed to fit one sensor (4 wire sensor) thats before the cat, and that removed one fault code.

Now its just these two at the front. Both show 1.4 and 1.5 volts so im sure those are gone. the one i replaced was giving me 1.5 volts. now its at 0.45v

Thanks

Have you tried the gum and breakers yards? If you in gp the check out EMI auto who is a forum sponsor, if you at the coast then try martins car parts, they also courier...

Good luck...

Hi !

Tried Diesel Electric, No luck on the front sensors, Said they last sold those last year sometime in the beginning of the year for my car. And will have to order it which would take over 3 weeks to come . Was also pricy.But not as bad as the dealer price.

I did buy the universal o2 sensor for my middle pipe from them though which removed that fault code.

Martins car parts, tried them as well, Very helpful chap, But no 5 wire sensors in stock at all, He had just sold the last one he had , said wont be getting more anytime . Even asked for a non bosch sensor and that as well wasnt available .

Tried the Scrap yards, THough not really happy with buying from a junk yard. These things seem to be easly damaged, Mileage, Age etc dnt want to risk the trouble with a used part failing after a few days/months.

Im in Durban :)

Cant believe how difficult it is finding this part :( who would have thought a 5 wire 02 sensor to be so scarce on a relatively popular car .

I bought my ST sensor (Also 5 wire) from them and received good service.

Hi Guys
Still suffering with that 02 sensor problem, tried the site above but couldnt find the sensor.
Bosch has told the spares shop (Family ) that they dont have any in stock and not sure when it will come in, He did order it for me. But they are not giving him an idea of when it will come in.
:( stuck.
Anyone have 2 working sensors lying around that i could borrow hehe

Ill try and call you later today,

Will you need the cars VIN number? The Part numbers? ( i have those from real oem) and the Bosch part number as well.

I need the ones that go on the manifold. they are 5 wire wide band oxygen sensors.
I dont really want to fit 2nd hand . Feel that these cars are starting to age now. 2nd hand will prob be one or 2 years off the age of my car and prob ready to die as well.

Thanks for the quick post reply!! :=):
