Hi All,
I filled up at Tesco, and 10 miles down the road my "Engine Emissions" light came on. Ideling has been seeking by a few rpm for the last week or so. Some reports say Tesco have bad fuel, others say its just one of those things.
I have a 56 plate 2.0 Z4, im very hands on and try to do things myself. However this is by far the most expensive car ive owned to date and dont fancy breaking it
. Ive changed O2 Sensors on previous cars ( MX6 ), and managed to use generic 4 wire sensors. These are about £20 a pop, as opposed to the dealer charging £160 odd .....
So the question being has anyone changed theres with non dealer parts, and specifically has anyone tried the generic 4 wire part ? I assume the light will go out once the ECU detects "better" readings ?
Any advive ( particualry and schematics ) of how best to get access to the sensors and if there are any tricks to getting them out appreciated. ( There usually just a simple spark plug style fit ... but you never know
Can anyone also confirm there is only one "front" sensor on the 2.0 ?
Thanks in advance,
Gareth
( PS - Ill put together a how to once its done )
