    Default cataclear could it work

    i have got error code 0130 on my 3.2 vectra been told its the 02 sensor on bank 1 is bank one at the back of the engine or the front
    also im thinking as i only drive 2 mile a day for most of the week could it just be a build up as the cars not getting used much would catclear be any good and a good blast to manchester and back do it any good
    also anybody know where i can get a o2 sensor from cheap
    thanks for any info

    Hot engine and drive it at high revs for a while. Try that before you spend loads on Cataclean. Should clear it out a bit.

    Give it a good thrashing, get the engine nice and hot. Its surprising what short journeys do and how an italian tune up often helps!

    Get it nice and hot and keep it in a gear that keeps the revs up to 5000 or so with the odd blast to the redline. I do this for a few miles to clear mine out.
