Car is booked in

[Gandy]

Going in tomorrow to Renault Blackburn to find out the cause of my issues...wish me luck!!

 

[Keil]

good luck buddy! let us know obviously

 

[Gandy]

Turns out my oxygen sensor is fooked...and typically they don't carry one as stock :lol:, this was the only fault they found...kinda relieved to be honest

 

[Leigh]

cost gandy .?

part and labour ?

 

[Roy]

Not to bad then mate

 

[Gandy]

Probably looking about 270 all in inuding the diagnostic which is 72 quid anyways

 

[RalphyBMW]

Mother Hubbard!

You could probably get the same O2 sensor from a motor factors for around £50-75, but at least this way if that doesn't solve the problem then Ren will be more inclined to help.

 

[Gandy]

Indeedy came as a bit of a shock to be fair but just want it fixed now

 

[Leigh]

Gandy !

get the sensor and pay the diag and pm me i will sort it !

 

[Gandy]

Its as ralphy said mate, plus its going in tomorrow

 

[aspen]

That sounds steep. Is the o2 sensor a pain to get to in the clio? I thought it was usually just plug and play and quick and easy to swap over.

Here is how much a replacement is:

[Gandy]

Probably cuz they are charging labour for just looking at it lol

 

[Leigh]

Ever get stuck like that again pm me .

Leigh

 

[Gandy]

Will do mate, i think it might be a lamda sensor as they said they need the car to cool before fitting

 

[brightside]

what was ur issue? Lamba/o2 sensors are on the exhaust so it will need too cool so they dont burn themself on it lol, safe and healthy...

 

[Gandy]

Lumpy idling, check injection light came on etc...

 

[Foxspeed]

did they say which one it was theres 2 on the 197/200

i assume it will be the second down stream sensor - the one that checks the efficiencies of the first sensor and cats roud:

 

[Gandy]

I'll ask Foxy...you giant geek :lol:

ITS THE UPSTREAM ONE!

 

[daz]

I could have changed that for you for a few ££'s mate...

 

[Cannit]

Cant remember ever changing a downstream. Just used to have to repair the wiring on them on the old meganes due to water ingress causing corrosion..

Glad you on the track to getting it sorted
