I need new pre cat 02 sensors for my D2. I have been quoted about $200 each which seems excessive. I read in an older post that you may be able to use generic Bosch sensors that you can get for about $60 each. Can anyone confirm this or add any useful info?

Hi, yes the generic o2 sensors work just fine I run them in mine. My original ones were extended to suit my extractors but these were a bit longer so didn't need extending just needed to release the plug from its holder.

Cheers,
Albert

I recently bought these,
Pair 4 Wire Bosch Holden Commodore VS VT VU VX VY Exhaust Oxygen O2 Sensors | eBay (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/171668071330?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT)

and combined them with some second hand D2 sensors (just need the connectors really)to make these,
not installed yet--
so no proof of life.
but will be very surprised if they dont work,,

it would seem my last set were poisoned by a head gasket failure with the leaking coolant ruining the sensors.
Imagine that! The BSL needing head gaskets? who woulda thought?
A BSL double whammy.

Thanks heaps for that. Less money I spend on my Disco - the more I get to spend on the wife's Territory!

I used Britpart ones to replace mine. I know what some people say about that brand but all I can comment on was the performance improvement was amazing.


I guess it underlined how bad the originals ones had got!
