Replacing O2 sensors - V8 Vantage

[ChilliWhizz]

I'm looking to do this myself on a 4 post lift (i.e. not lying on my back )

Has anyone else done this themselves, or have any tips/advice/knowledge of tools etc? Are they unplug old, remove, screw in new, then plug and play? Also is there a 'workshop' manual' for the Vantage, I've searched but not had much luck identifying one

Here's a shot of the downstream Lambda on my Chimaera, I'm guessing the boss/sensor arrangement on the Aston will be similar... (just visible under the swirl pot... Oh, and she's getting a body off chassis refurb next winter )




Thanks in advance for any info/tips...

WoW

That's what I call a quick response You Sir are a Gentleman......

Not been under the car yet, does anything need removing or are the connectors immediately visible?

TIA, Chiili

I should've had a full DIY up by now but I haven't gotten it done yet

Everything should be visible. Clearance is the main challenge.
Another tip: unplug the wiring connectors first, that way the wiring can spin freely as you remove the sensor from the cat.

Brilliant, I'll be having a look underneath soon...

Love your youtube stuff by the way

Superb.

I also need new cats as mine rattle, either sports or normal.

Which sensors can we buy? Bosch Volvo part I can buy to give my dealer to install when she's next in?

Hi Martin, I'm thinking these ...

Yep, paid £120 for the two sensors and an hour on the ramp for £40... the hour included time for the exhaust to cool down too... two sensors done for £160... local AM lot quoted me over £500...
