I just got back from servicing my car at Honda, and just found out that my oxygen sensor is f***ed, and the reason behind why the engine check light is always on the past couple of days. yada yada yada, they quote me RM1100 for it! What the f***?? Kanine so expensive, so i decided to think about it first.
any car expert here can tell me why is it so important that i fork out RM1100 to change this little shit. This shit that just totally screw up my "Im going to buy a PS3!" plan. and is there any generic, 3rd party oxygen sensor out there?
Woah, very important man.any car expert here can tell me why is it so important that i fork out RM1100 to change this little shit. This shit that just totally screw up my "Im going to buy a PS3!" plan. and is there any generic, 3rd party oxygen sensor out there?
Like what everyone else is quoting, it is to determine whether your car is running rich or lean. If it's running rich, the O2 sensor detects too little oxygen and decreases fuel. If it's lean, it'll detect excess oxygen so increase fuel.
Whle I was in Australia, I thought the O2 sensor was quite expensive there as well. Forgot the price already but probably almost AUD 300. But what do I know back then.
So compare it to here, probably a bit too expensive I think.
