Oxygen Sensors
 

So

I bought a universal O2 sensor for the V70 and it's no good.

So I have a limited time to send it back for a refund before the new Denso gets here-

No harm is driving with with old ones put back in with their wires cut in the mean time?

Just gas mileage will go down- I know.




Thanks

I am also curious

What makes the front sensor a different part number from the rear?



Thanks

It might run like dirt with the wires cut. The rear should have longer wiring.

just longer wiring
 

sorry to break into this thread, but I am trying to understand this oxygen sensor thing,
my v70 is 1997 2.5 na 10v and only has one sensor, after the cat with a short lead going to the connector near the bulkhead
with only the one sensor fitted, what does it actually do? does it alter fuel trim or simply report a problem to the ecu to turn on the check light and store a code
Thanks
