Hi all,
OK car failed MOT today, I couldn't believe it, I truly thought this car would be my first to go through no questions asked! lol
Failed terribly on emissions...
Thankfully when I first bought a 300 I invested in conzult, which is bloody magic and has easily paid for itself (and I have reliable cars believe it or not). Here is a capture from the log I took and used the conzult log replay function, it can do lots more/different sensors as well.
RH_o2_sensor_down <-- VIDEO LINK
As you can see RH o2 sensor sits at 0.32v, and this is the same reading that my last dead sensor gave all the time.
Two things
1) Does anyone have a vgc condition o2 sensor (to suit my 98 300zx in case they're different) or knows the price of a new one please?
2) Has anyone any experience of how much of a mofo the right hand one is to change please? I changed the left (nearside) before, and it was a horrible job removing the battery, battery tray etc etc to get to it, on the right side I don't have that luxury so I'm looking for any tips/hints to get to it.
On the bright side I thought the car was going alright and not massively thirsty, last time I fixed an o2 sensor the car went even better and much more efficient, so I'm excited about getting more power and efficiency again!
