Any original Toyota part supplier here ?

Looking for oxygen sensor for my toyota, you wont believe , that's disaster, get an oxygen sensor for my car.
Right - dealers want my arm and leg for that - 370 euro , one online carpart store wanted 890 euro for that !!!! that's ridiculous.

Any advice where to get, some online suppliers or place where get that bloody thing for reasonable price, not consider second hand.

Thanks

what you think about this website ? would be worth risk get off them, price reasonable to compare what dealers or some carpart stores offering. http://www.worldcarparts.co.uk/tabid/144/CategoryID/222/ProductID/1288/PageIndex/3/language/en-GB/Default.aspx

What Toyota is it? its surely either a bosch 2 or 4 wire sensor?

just join this to the wiring on the old sensor, it might not go into the old bung, you may need to get a new one welded on and the old one patched up..

I know the ones on the Carina E were a different type of sensor to pretty much any other car. maybe it's the same story on the Avensis, is yours 1.8?

Won't that just give you a part number?


Far as I remember the lean burn in the carina uses some weird style of sensor that works in a different way, some 90 civics used a similar setup. I know next to nothing about oxygen sensors but I'd imagine that's why you can't use universal ones?

Yes, i was doing diagnostics, and emission test show lambda way over limit, CO ok, but i presume catalytic converter working fine, oxygen level is way too high 1.250 ish ... i think max may be 1.003. Guy said Toyota is very sensitive to sensors, and suggested use original one. Wonder that Denso is fine.
Any idea what make original sensor is, and part number ?

True, and very hard to get spurious- when you do, they usually don't work. Bit like the airflow meter for the Terrano - the spurious ones fit but don't work. They used to be €190 from toyota, must have gone up since they scrapped all the spares stocks for Carinas, starlets and older corollas held in the Dublin dist, center. ( I coulda cried as it was reams of full new engines, panels, wheels and all the smaller stuff.) They now have to come from the UK/Japan as a direct order. I'd say you might be wasting your time looking for a spurious one for a lean burn but you might get one out of a crashed car in a scrappies that still works. Cleaning the old one seems to make sfa difference as well.

Is the Engine Management Light on? Usually, if there is a problem with the Oxygen sensor, it would be.

Pottler is dead right on this one. Spurious sensors for the Avensis are simply a waste of money. And yes, the oem ones from a dealer were over €300 when I got the last one.

Just make sure it's actually the O2 sensor before you commit.

yes, will let yous know, presume goin get wednesday or thursday ish. Friday or satarday will be tested. If that thing wont work,ill send it back. Goin fight for my money. Fingers crossed will be fine. According search on internet, usually toyota oxy sensor dies at 120 k miles, mine has 123 k. Miles. In that toyodiy site,manual calls that sensor as lean burn sensor, oxygen sensor n/a.
