I have been incredibly lucky this morning has I have managed to remove both my duff o2 sensors with very little fuss.

Obviously I soaked them in plus gas fluid over night, then a simply smashed off the tops of the old sensors and used a 22mm socket to remove! Very lucky!

I currently have my BMC out so that made room on the OS and took the battery out on the NS. My car also has no A/C so the pipework on the NS wasn't there to complicate things.

My question is do I need to or should I put anything on the new sensor threads and how tight should I wind them in?

Also the sensors I bought are from CPZ....

They are genuine Bosch sensors and are a direct fit, but the wiring colours are different having 2 white and 1 black as opposed to white/black/red. Any thoughts on this or should I just plug them in!

 

Thanks...

I'd just plug them in and hope they work lol.

 

In regards to the threads, I wouldn't like to say, not sure if something like copper grease or something would be advisable. Sure someone will answer soon though

A little bit of coppaslip on the threads and it'll make them easier to remove in future, just ensure its only on the threads.

Also, you may find push in mounting clips so far up the harness so as to attach them out of harms way.

They are at different positions I believe for left and right hand side.

Worth checking.
