hadyn Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Is it possible to clean the o2 sensor with say carb cleaner etc? Will this have any benefit to the sensor if its cleaned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Leave it in lemon juice overnight, then clean with carb cleaner. New ones are about £120 from toyota... or less a lot less from Nic but you'll have a long wait. Chris Wilson can supply one that you just need to swap the connector over on for about £80 I think.

hadyn Posted December 22, 2006 Author Share Posted December 22, 2006 will cleaning the sensor actually help? e.g some of the effects of fitting a new one - better mpg etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr lover Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 cleaning is more of a short term fix i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I wouldn't bother cleaning the sensor, if you go through the effort of replacing, why do it twice? It is a miniature battery after all, it decays with age/usage. Cleaning only works if it has been covered in carbon soot because of unusually rich running (but even then, what if the rich running was caused by the dead sensor itself?)

Ric Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 yeah they are cheap enough to just replace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 I agree with John, if you are going to the trouble of removing it, I would replace with a new one. It may seem a little pricey to buy a new O2 sensor, but the difference in fuel economy it makes, it will soon pay for itself in saving on your fuel bill. Give me a shout if you would like prices.
