My mom brought her car in today for a service code. They conected the
diagnostics, and it needed a primary 02 Sensor. $160.00 Labor $216.00 part $80.00 Diagnostic =$456.00 for an O2 sensor. Man I am glad I dont own a Honda |

Wouldn't that be covered by emissions warranty?

wow curly, good to know about the oem sensor at NAPA.
Thinking about changing mine out at 250000kms.... though I may try to recondition them as described (i think) on Tegger.com, boiling in lime away? Anyone try that successfully? To the OP, before laying out that kinda cash, I would definitely have gotten a second opinion. Also, was it the primary (top) or secondary (bottom) sensor? Primary would definitly be more important to change right aways, but you could get away with driving with a bad secondary for a while. I had a code pop up on my 98 civic at 85000kms.... my shop did the responsible thing.... They checked it and the code read Primary O2 sensor. Then they cleared it and said to come back if it reoccured. It did come back in a day or so, but this time it read bad Catalytic converter. They replaced the cat after verifying on warranty, and tested both O2 sensors before putting back in to the new Catalytic Converter/Exhaust Manifold assembly. ( $800 OEM part!) A good shop would only charge one diagnostic fee for the above if not covered on warranty. On a side note, I am about 99% sure that the above situation was caused by some bad gas. I was in Regina Saskatchewan, and filled up at a station my friend recommended, as they gave a cash discount. First clue shoulda been that it smelled like nail polish remover while refueling.... The car bucked and complained the whole way back home, and I only got about 280kms on that tank of fuel. Filled up at the Esso in Virden, and it was like a new car again. About a week later, the Check Engine light came on. Perhaps the same happened to your mom's car? Bad gas is more common than most people think.... t 'Curly Q.

Brings me back to the bad/old gas theory, obviously this car is not driven
that often. Gas goes bad within 3-6 months, running that through the engine after sitting for a long time could have a deleterious effect on many systems, and will definitely reduce fuel economy. shawn wrote: >This was at the Dealershiip where she bought he car.
