Hiya,

Got my management light come on the other week, got it checked out and is the O2 sensor, Bank 2 sesnor 1 whcih i assume is the sensor at the front near the manifold?

Rang Lexus to get a price on the part and got a a whopping £194 for the sensor. Any one know where I could get one cheaper that is compatiable but same quailty as the Lexus Branded sensor.

Cheers
Aky

I seen some on Ebay is the States really cheap sorry no link. Im sure you can get them from the US and will be a lot cheaper than Lexus

There is a thread in the GS section, I think its titled Higher Mileage GS owners or something along those lines. It may well have been started by Manesh.

In that thread someone had purchased non lexus O2 sensors

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has tried a product called "Catclean", which cleans out the whole fule system down to the 02 sensors on the cat. Website is www.catclean.com. I have also noticed a full tank of petrol giving me 250 miles on my IS200, rather than 320 -350 2 months ago. I have no lights coming on the dash. Cheers.
Aky
Cheers,

The cheaper sensors are they the same quality as the Original? Would it be better to get original then the 2nd gen parts?

A generic sensor will do the job or if you must have OEM PM Chris.S on here and he will get you a price :)
Aky
Cheers will Pm Chris

Hi Aky, i have the same problem on my Lex, O2 sensor i think, Where did you get the part from please and how much?

To answer the Question i think it the second sensor further down the exhaust mid point, not sure but remember seeing one sticking out when my car was up a ramp.

Cheers

hello and welcome to you too - I must have missed your "hello" post somewhere...... get the fault code read then go from there otherwise you are just guessing, and if you reset the ECU to turn the lights off you are also wiping the fault code

I guess that you did not read my original reply ............? read it again and follow the advice given
michael long
hi engine management light went off its come back on would it be stupid to get
the car serviced without getting to the bottom of this thanks
Mark W
You need to follow the advice given and find out what codes the ECU is showing. The Lexus dealer who reset the light for you should be able to tell you what codes were showing.
They shouldnt have just cleared anyway - as if there is a problem with something the light will just come straight back on again.

Continuing to drive without finding out what the problem is and getting it fixed can actually do damage...and/or effect fuel economy etc.
michael long
the light has gone again everything fine that shudder starting is also gone it could be connected if it comes back
iget it sorted thanks for your help.
