Hi guys I am Eddie, I just picked up a lovely N16 Almera with 49k miles and 2 owners, so thought i would join and ask a few questions if thats ok, I purchased the vehicle with the engine check light on for a very good price, I have had a diagnostics read out and it seems that the o2 sensors on bank 1 and 2 are gone.
What i need to know is the replacement o2 sensors are they the same on both, i have looked at the front one and that is a 3 wire, so i assume i can buy something like this, would i need to order 2 or is the rear one different.
Many thanks in Advance

TBH i dont remember it was the mechanic that that was just closing up when i went put it on diagnstics and showed me that they had failed, I guess they are rich as the car seems to be using a lot of fuel.
I have ordered a diagnostics machine of ebay so should be able to advise shortly
 
No not for definite but it is a common fault on these. Stab in the dark.
Obviously try the sensor change. To be fair it's usually the cam sensor that throws up a fault with stretch.
 
Well i have fixed it now that my ODB scanner arrived, plugged it in and errors P0135 and p0141, read up on these arrors and it says ground issue or o2 sensor fault, so i did a bit of digging and it seems somebody moved the o2 sensor fuse to the empty space next to it, i moved it to where the o2 sensor should be and reset the codes and the car is perfect now no engine light.
I am sure that this must have been done by some garage in order for the previos owner to shell out loads on a repair.
