2litre turbo emissions light problem...aaaargh

[vectrasri20t]

on google they bring similar faults suggesting bank 1 and 2 ie both sensors but my dads pc is windows 7 and this disc is just crashing the pc

[vectrasri20t]

my limited cash has run out after spending 1400 on the car lol bread and water for me til the end of the year lol

[vectrasri20t]

im finding the same fault for both codes mate will check later but best i can do now,your very unlucky if both sensors have gone,not sure the price of an 02 sensor but the egt exhaust gas temprature sensor was £107 for a little sensor and a foot of wire its inbetween booth 02 sensors,but when i did the test it brought that code up and i bought the part and all was fixed i thank the guy who found out about the brake accel trick

P0038 HO2S Heater Control Circuit High (Bank 1 Sensor 2)

Its the same sensor, looks like it has packed in

thanks both.....wheres best to price up a new bank 1 sensor 2 thingy?

they vauxhall only or is there a cheapy similar kind?

[vectrasri20t]

when my sensor failed i dont think i lost any power but your best getting it done mate have a little cry but im not sure how you tell which sensor it is pre cat or post cat

[voxpop]

oh and by the way....dya know if this is an MOT fail? its due the end of the month (****** typical eh)

[vectrasri20t]

you need an 02 sensor,but the problem is you have 1 before the cat near the turbo and 1 after the cat you might be worth getting a price on fitting as it should only take 30 mins max even if its a tight 1

[vectrasri20t]

unless your emissions are effected but i dont think it will fail the m.o.t as the ecu puts the car into a pre set mode

P0036 HO2S Heater Control Circuit (Bank 1 Sensor 2)

This is the O2 sensor after the first cat


Can't fine a cause for the other code but i'll keep looking

Sure I put a clue there somewhere

As to it failing the MOT there is a fair chance that the car won't be fueling right and fail emmisions
