oxygen sensor tht i can find outside is BOSCH or DENSO.
why dont u try call spareparts shop below and ask for a quote. I bet RM 0 that they are more more more cheaper than honda workshop.

here is contact for PH AUTO located in SEA PARK.
very popular among WPC, ZEROTOHUNDRED, AUTOWORLD forummer.

O2 sensor is an essential component of the ECU in managing air/fuel mixture. Your car's fuel consumption and engine power depends heavily on it.

Yeah, I agree with ulet that you call up spare part shops for price. And I also highly recommend PH Auto, ask for Mr. Beh, the boss there. I get all my Nissan spare parts from PH Auto. Price is very reasonable.

But I am a bit shocked at how fast your O2 sensor is damaged... O2 sensor usually no need to change during a car's life. It is designed to last beyond 150,000km. What year is ur Honda and what model?

2004 Accord 2.4... How much mileage have you clocked up so far?

Price on O2 sensors varies from car to car. My B14 Sentra's O2 sensor (Bosch) cost around RM300, but some may cost higher depending on make and model.

Dude, I suggest you take your Accord to another trusted mechanic to check if it's really the O2 sensor that's giving problems. If he can confirm that, only then go to buy the part.

As to which shop to go to, it really depend on where you are, man. If you're in PJ area, by all means go to PH Auto.

bosch and denso also good companies.
should be no problem with either.

dunno the price and the installation cost but from other forummer response, RM1100 is way overprice.

Actually, to install the O2 sensor is very easy... Plug and play only... But the resetting of the ECU part after installing it will require some expertise...
