Hi all engine light came on tonight code points to heat sensor 3 bank 2. Is this an easy diy job? And any help with part number and location of what sensor I need to change.
 
"british parts" on a google search will take you to the part . if its the same one that I did ,it took me about 3/4 hour but I did have access to a ramp and had a lambda removal socket.
 
If using ramps put a couple of short lengths of deck board or similar infront of them to give you a bit of initial front lift to protect the chin spoiler.
 
Cheers Luner, I’ve got platinum ALA warranty they covered the bank 1 sensor 3 in January so they should cover this one I’ll call them Tuesday.
 
I’ve only done 27k I got the car at 17k this is the second senior that needs replacing. I never use cheap fuel. I’m wondering if the previous owner used cheap fuel for the 17k he or she done. Or if this normal to have to change the sensors this often seems poor if this is the case.
 
Update on this sensor issue. Had the sensor replaced Friday last week had the car back for 2 days engine light on again plug in diagnostic same code as before. The garage are telling me it could be a deeper issue with my emissions.

Any idea what this could be or have any of you been through similar issues and found a solution.

I’ve had banks 1 & 2 sensors 3 go over the 3 months!!! I used E5 never E10.


I cannot clear the fault. I’ve checked the fuses all ok as they say check them. I’m at a loose and I don’t want to be mugged off!
 
Update on this Engine light sensor issue. Garage run a diagnostic today and cleared the fault and they are telling me it could be a CAT on the way out or something else! I’ve driven all day today and the car s running fine. From pass experience it could come back on in 2 days. They said the new sensors are working fine. I’ll keep you posted what happens this week.
