02 sensor

[particlewave]

Is it the same sensor you replaced? Did the new sensor come with a Porsche connector, or did you have to splice the old connector on?

Could be bad if it was low quality (stick with Bosch). It could also be a faulty connection. I'd start with pulling the connector, visually inspecting the pins (clean with contact cleaner), then reconnecting (make sure the cam lock is fully seated).
Also check the wiring to make sure it isn't rubbing anywhere or loose enough to touch the exhaust.

Assuming you bought OEM equivalent sensor so no funny business with the part,
What was your prior code? You have 4 sensors.....the two rear ones won't generate a code IIRC.

If its the same code as before, get under the car and reseat the O2 connector.

The prior code when my original sensor put the CEL on was something like "sensor not responding quickly enough"
My car has 2 sensors 1 on each side (UK)
Same code different comments.

Thanks for your response.

It is the same sensor, yes and it came with the Porsche connector.
I have had a look for chafing, everything seams ok. I haven't disconnected it yet which I will do. I did make sure when I fitted it that it was locked properly.

Thanks for your response.
