Dush73 Member 56 Member For: 13y 5m 16d Posted 05/06/11 07:57 AM Share Posted 05/06/11 07:57 AM Hi guys,Going to replace my o2 sensor as I think it may improve my fuel economy but I'm confused on how many I need. I know BF T's have 2, have read BA N/A have 2, but BA T's(which mine is) only have 1? Could someone confirm please?Also, are these just plug & play devices, ie, remove old one, fit new one? No resetting of ECU or similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the ones on ebay, supposed to be genuine NGK(NTK) ones. Anyone bought from this buyer(actually there are 2 ebayers selling them claiming to be original) & did they work ok?

Dush73 Member 56 Member For: 13y 5m 16d Posted 06/06/11 03:24 AM Author Share Posted 06/06/11 03:24 AM I got 1 of these oneshttp://cgi.ebay.com....TRK:MESINDXX:ITSomeone else on the forum(earlier thread) said they tried one of them & didnt work well for them.I'm getting intermittent engine light(3 times last night in quick succession....turn engine off then on again & it disappears), but my fuel economy is pretty average, so I'm hoping replacing it will fix one or the other, or maybe both(wishful thinking?)......+ can't hurt it for $70 odd.

Doubt you will ever get decent economy though....oil companies love XRT drivers! ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is a bf2,but as I have a tune the rear isn't turned on , so only need one. The second sensor was for my mate with a Ba n/a xr6. Now the interesting bit,.. upon fitment in both cars it turns out the two little alignment lugs on either side of the sensors plug were in the mirror opposite positions to where the original ones are. The wires are the same colors in the same positions, just the little lugs are in the wrong place - for ba AND bf! I trimmed them off with a knife, as the plug still has its main locking tag, and it works fine in both vehicles. Just thought I'd share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
