Privacy 5th Gear July 14, 2017 Share July 14, 2017 reason i asked is because recently, after returning from a trip in malaysia with full tank of petrol from petronas. my CEL also lid up after travelling about 200km. The mechanic whom i spoke to asked if i have just returned from malaysia and he mentioned it's a common problem if the car has been using malaysia petrol too frequently. He went on to reset the error code and ask me to monitor the car again. I went on to pump singapore petrol for a few tanks and the problem didn't surface again. there maybe some truth that the quality of malaysia petrol will indeed affect the o2 sensor. i will change the mechanic before I change the sensor ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ER-3682 Twincharged July 14, 2017 Author Share July 14, 2017 The 02 sensor is wear & tear but it should last at least 5 years or more. You may ask your mechanic to diagnose it with a reader device. Sometime the gasket leak may also caused the 02 sensor failure. My previous car 02 sensor wear-off after 7 years and replaced for $350.

I went to my regular workshop at AMK. But he does change different price for those that just drive in. Suggest you go to your own. Only the yellow Check Engine Light symbol light up on the dashboard, no other symptom. Still drive normally. But he did tell me the fuel consumption will be slightly higher.

currypuff 5th Gear August 20, 2017 Share August 20, 2017 thanks for the info....If u need to get a new o2, can just pop by any of the parts stockist, especially around serangoon road to check the price, then get your mechanic to install. May be cheaper this way... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
