“Ryan sent a text ahead of his arrival and to inform me that he was going to be arriving earlier which was no problem at all. On arrival, he was well presented and courteous, and he explained clearly what would happen. Later on in the day, Clickmechanic said the original time needed to complete the job had to be adjusted. I texted Ryan and he replied promptly to confirm this. Communication was very good and after returning the vehicle, he briefly explained what had happened and what they did. Overall very satisfied with the level and speed of service provided.“

What does an Oxygen Sensor do?

The sensor measures the amount of oxygen, or O2 present in the fuel / air mixture and engine emissions. Most cars have several oxygen sensors spread over the engine and its ancillaries; from the inlet manifold to the exhaust. Some cars even have a seperate sensor for each cylinder.

Usually the sensor puts out a voltage between 0.1 and 1 volt depending on the current passing through. This information from the sensors is processed by the engine's computer (ECU). The ECU in turn optimises the amount of fuel and air entering the engine to ensure optimal combustion and reduced emissions.

How do you know there is something wrong with the Oxygen Sensor?

When the 'Check Engine' light on your dashboard is on.
When the engine won't start or cuts out during operation.
When the engine misfires.
When the engine runs rough (a rough idle for example).
When the engine doesn't perform as well as usual.
When the car's fuel consumption is higher than usual.
When the car fails an emissions test.

When should you consider an Oxygen Sensor replacement?

Over time, an oxygen sensor can soil due to the dirty air passing along it. This decreases the sensor's ability to identify the amount of oxygen that is present in the area of the engine system it is situated. This can lead to the ECU not being able to regulate the fuel / air mixture correctly which can have as a consequence that the engine will run lean or rich. In turn the car can have poor fuel consumption, equally it might cause the car to fail an emissions test.

In many cases an oxygen sensor can be cleaned of dirt to restore its functionality. In other cases it can be that the oxygen sensor has really failed, in which case it needs to be replaced to prevent further issues and inconvenience.

For an optimal combustion of the air / fuel mixture it is therefore important to service the oxygen sensors as and when stipulated in the guidelines set out by your car's manufacturer. Professional and timely maintenance is essential to prevent further damage of other parts of the engine. Should you experience problems with an oxygen sensor, then it is advisable to have it inspected and, if necessary, have the sensor replaced.

What happens during a Oxygen Sensor replacement?

The mechanic will read the ECU for possible fault codes related to the oxygen sensors.
The mechanic will inspect the sensor and ancillaries (like the electrical connectors).
If necessary, the mechanic will replace the sensor.
The mechanic will advise if other components need to be replaced as well.
The mechanic will check the sensors again.
The mechanic will test drive the car, if necessary the mechanic will make adjustments.
