P0130 - Powertrain Fault Code - Clio 200

[DanB720]

I was driving this morning and my service light came on saying "Check emissions". When I got to work I plugged my OBD scanner in and the following code came up:
P0130 - Powertrain
02 Sensor Circuit (Bank 1 Sensor 1)

I cleared the fault code but it came back up, leading me to believe there's an issue. After googling it appears to be related to the Air Flow Rate.

Has anyone else ever had this? Anyone know what sensor its referring to?
Any help would be appreciated

Thanks in advance

Thanks Fernandez. My OBD took me to that page too.

After doing a bit more reading I think its the oxygen sensor before the cat that is malfunctioning. Im going to check for the code again at lunch on a cold engine and see if its still occurs.

How much do you think a new oxygen sensor will cost?

If its the Lambda sensor they are around £85

Im going to put it on the ramp at the weekend and swap the lambda sensor Pre-Cat and Post Cat over. (I think there the same??) Should be able to deduce weather its a faulty sensor or not.
