Max Capacity Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Is it possible to use a rear O2 in the front ? I have a P0134 code in my 05GT Wagon, Bank 1 of 1 I bought a OEM rear sensor and replaced it, I didn't realize there was a front sensor too. I'm still getting the P0134 after the engine runs for about 2 minutes. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

TRSCobra Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 No, pretty sure the rear is a narrowband. FBP sent me the rear sensor when I ordered a front one. The actual sensor area looks different, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 OK thanks. Any body need a rear O2 sensor. I now have 3. The new OEM in the car, the new after market rear back in it's box, and the original rear O2 sensor. Any body else ever feel like an idiot... 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

Max Capacity Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 Ok, so what's this W/o u5 and W/u5 ? http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/index.cfm?action=getJointLocator&siteid=216335&chapter=&Sectionids=2,2496&groupid=2497&subgroupid=3874&componentid=68314&make=32&model=Legacy&year=2005&graphicID=7523320&callout=12&catalogid=2&displayCatalogid=0 I guess the GTs are W/u5 because that's where the price for a front sensor pop's up. The W/o u5 only has one sensor. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

TRSCobra Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Beware of using that site for ordering the o2 sensor. They don't list part numbers with the product description and when I ordered the front sensor, they sent me the rear one. I called after getting the rear one and told them the p/n of the one I needed and they sent it, even adjusted the price to match the rear sensor's price.

Max Capacity Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 So, do you think I can use a aftermarket front sensor for like $50.00 or should I order the OEM for $120.+ 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

Max Capacity Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 Well I see no one wanted to touch this... I checked Advance Auto Parts, they could get one here by the 8th for like $90.00. Or they had one for $369.00 that could get here sooner. I called Auto Parts International today, he said they didn't have one, and someone called yesterday from Advance looking for one. I told that was for me. I just called a local place Corky's auto parts, for $120.00 they'll have for me at noon today. I did pull the old one last night. It came out very easy, I was freaking amazed... 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

Max Capacity Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 The Bosch O2 sensor fixed it. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

BigTDogg MA Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 The Bosch O2 sensor fixed it. Car-specific connector or universal unit? 140K+ miles on the original ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 It was a direct fit. I think it was bosch p/n 15011, I didn't look to closely, I have the box and can check later if you care. I'm not a big fan of having to connect wires to something universal. Plug and play, 10 minutes and I'm on my way. Drove the car down to my buddies machine shop, I walked on and said, "see it drives" one of the guy's looks out and say's, "it's dirty", I get no respect... 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.
