O2 Sensor - Simon please see

[nikhan]

Ok prob need to change my O2 soon. I remember its a universal 4 one but I cant remember where to get em. The last time Simon recommended me a place but somehow I lost the contact. So Simon if u see this and u still have the place would be great to give me the addy again lolz.

Or if anyone else has any suggestions on where to get one feel free to put it up here

I think you can get them > here < too...

[Dras]

I got mine from Repco.

[Gholdwayne]

Dras, just a galant hj?

did it make much difference?

[Bennoz]

Just universal 4 wire.

Universal 4 wire and nope.

I replaced it because I started to get really bad fuel economy but it turned out to be a very heavily soiled air filter.

[nikhan]

So I can just go to Repco and get a generic universal 4 wire or must it be car specific?

Yes, you can go to Repco and get a generic universal 4 wire o2 sensor. There won't be any plug on the end (hence the universal) but this diy viewtopic.php?f=23&t=13136 covers what to do with it.

Happy Sodering. (Sorry, been watching too many American Discovery channel shows. What is with Americans not pronouncing the l in soldering /endrant)

[Gholdwayne]

silent letters

you don't pronounce the 'g' in bolognese do you?

[Supplanter]

It's not silent it's lazy Americans. Soder, aluminum...

i called repco ages ago bout getting one and they told me they dont sell them at all ( mayb he lied to me )
i need mine changed ( want to change mine ben for a case ) its sorta seized

[Gholdwayne]

I think i should change mine too. Did my fuel filter and my economy still doesnt go lower than 10L/100k.

Thats 'cause you drive like a filo with an outstanding warrant

[Gholdwayne]

Lol!!

But what about the other filo's who drive with outstanding warrants and get sub 7-8L/100k ?

[nikhan]

i rarely drive over the speed limit nor do i ever flog it....still getting about 450-480 on a full tank.

I know what you mean. i think rev-wise you probably mainly use the 1500~sub3000 range. I think that's when the torque and power is low. I found that when i'm on a cruise, im usually above 3000 on lower than usual gears and I was surprised to get more mileage. Realized that thats around the range where the engine uses less petrol as there is more torque and power - I dont fully understand it but its somewhere along those lines.

Simons long gone

[Gholdwayne]

He'll be back... Probably just gone on a pilgrimage of gaydom

Lol!!

Sub 7-8??? How many petrol engines get this in any car? Even a tiny arse hatch back with tiny motor would hardly get this in real world test.

I was getting 10l in a ford fiesta!! A mirage gets 7-8 and that's with bullshit manufacturer claims you never will be able to do in a smaller car with smaller engine.
