Opel / Vauxhall Corsa D 1.2 engine Z12XEP lambda sensor / oxigen sensor replacement

[@georgecroney6168]

My post Cat sensor was seized, so much so I had to pop the rubber mounts and remove 3 x 13mm bolts at the catalytic converter to drop the exhaust, cut the sensor down to the hex portion to allow use of a regular socket and 24 inch breaker bar as the o2 sensor socket flexed and rounded it off. Then used an M18 re thread tool to fix the threads in the exhaust. The tool was £10, new gasket was £1.20, sealant was £3. Much cheaper than a new exhaust. Hope this helps anyone else out there

Open circuit sensor 1 bank 1 is one of my 5 faults to fix....I'm not mechanic but have electrical background.

[@brunocardoso8758]

My corsa d has a different connector... Same sensor but needs a male connector and also bit longer.. Thanks for the video anyway 👍

Hi there, my fuel on my Corsa D 2011 has recently been dropping faster then usual and is quite noticeable. I think I need to change the oxygen sensor but not sure which one.

[@jordannedkov3258]

Hello! I have P2188-00 Fuel trim malfuction Bank 1. Should i replace the first sensor from the catalytic converter?

[@ΑΘΑΝΑΣΙΟΣΜΠΙΤΑΣ]

I have a Corsa C 2004 1.4 XEP twinport and code PO141, which sensor is it and what part numbers do they have? Thanks

[@edwardnable]

Can be a rev up en down jerk and smell gasoline causes o2 on under pipe can we just clean it and put on again

[@Idontwantausernamist]

Hi, is it necessary to disconnect the battery too and why? If it's too avoid some temporary fault code I can erase it via the OBD diagnostic later. Thanks

[@CorsaDForever]

I disconnect the battery to reset the ECU learned values, but it's not necessary.

[@Idontwantausernamist]

@@CorsaDForever Ok, and I assume I can reset values via the OBD diagnostic I use if I need to, thanks!

[@pclarke3367]

Hi I recently got my exhaust changed due to a hole in the back box and middle section on my 1.2 2012 corsa d. Since then I have got the codes P0036, P0138, P0140 and P0141 (heater control circuit bank 1 sensor 2). I cleared the codes and drove for a couple of miles but came back on. Will I need to just change the lambda sensor myself and if so which 1 or take it to a garage?

[@CorsaDForever]

Replace the second lambda sensor, the one under the car on the exhaust pipe.

[@mf_rat]

My OBDII scanner comes up with emissions failure for the catalytic and o2 sensor heater. I'm new to this and not really sure of what readings mean what. It also says it's running lean. Would that be because of a faulty o2 sensor? I do get the occasional misfire on a cold start.

[@CorsaDForever]

The O2 sensor need to be replaced. The misfire is not related with te sensor problem. First check the spark plugs. Especially the one on which cylinder you have misfires, if it looks different from the others. Also check the coil, if the contacts are clean, without oxidation.

[@Jana-mr3lz]

I have a question, which sensor did you exactly replace? I have a problem with bank 1 sensor 2, is this the same as you had? And how do I know which of these is the sensor I need to replace?

[@CorsaDForever]

@@Jana-mr3lz I replaced both sensors. All look the same. Bank 1 sensor 2 is the one underneath the car.

[@MirkoM2425]

Hey, thank you for the video. Are you 100% confident that the same 499 sensor can be used as the first sensor as well? I have 2 options. Use a denso universal sensor but i need to crimp the ends to a jack from the second sensor.. if that makes sense. Or use the second bosch 499 sensor and replace the first sensor before the cat.

[@CorsaDForever]

If you have Corsa D with Z12XEP engine I'm 100% sure because I did it. For other engines, the effective sensor is not a problem, the problem might be the length of the cable. It is ok to measure the cable first to see if it fits. It's not a problem if the length is not exactly the same, it is important to easily reach the plug.

[@Mighty1258]

Hi bro, thank you for you help. My car sometimes sputters when starting. It only happens in first gear when I start the car. What could be the cause?

[@CorsaDForever]

Hard to say, could be coil or spark plugs, could be map sensor, lambda sensor. Hard to say without seeing the car. Engine sometimes stalls or lacks power after starting?

[@Mighty1258]

@@CorsaDForever No stalls or lacks of the engine. Could be the lambda sensor. Maybe i have to check the check engine light. My engine starts without a problem, could it still be the spark plugs? Thanks for your help

[@CorsaDForever]

Read the error codes if you have any. It helps a lot to diagnose the problem more precisely.

[@Mighty1258]

Your right. Maybe the problem is linked to it. @@CorsaDForever

[@numbergreen2145]

Hi there good sir One question. Is the first sensor the same as the second one? Or are they in any way different?

[@CorsaDForever]

They have different codes, but physically the sensors are the same. The only difference is that the front one has a slightly long cable and it is more expensive.

[@numbergreen2145]

Yes. The sensors are the same.

[@faiyazhamim626]

Hello Sir I have P0133-00 on my corsa D, is it first sensor that requires replacement? Is it the reason why my car consumes a lot of fuel?

[@CorsaDForever]

Most of the time, this error is caused by a faulty sensor. The fuel consumption is a result of this. A proper diagnose will prompt this correctly. Sometimes this code could have other causes.

[@uthmanlone5584]

Hi, I have codes P0141, P0138, P0136 and P0140. I can't seem to find any Lambada sensors from a reputable brand. If only after Cat sensor needs changing can i still change the one at the top of the cat. Also would ot be possible to get links to both sensors. Anything to give the catalytic converter a clean maybe some sort of Liquid? Thanks

[@CorsaDForever]

Look for Bosch sensors. If you can't find, is ok to use Denso equivalent. The best way to clean the catalytic converter is to go 3000-4000 rpm on a long road. If not working this way, means that is gone, need a new one. If after cat lambda values are in the same pattern as the lambda before cat, means that is gone. Normal engine with a normal cat shows lambda 1 similar to a sine wave and lambda 2 more like a straight line.

[@uthmanlone5584]

@@CorsaDForever You reckon I shall start with changing the sensor underneath the cat them take it from there

P1138-00 O2 Sensor Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1 Sensor 2) Is this the sensor on the back of the exhaust. Where exactly. Is this and o2 sensor lambda sensor

[@CorsaDForever]

The sensor is under the car, on the exhaust pipe.

[@R19G88]

I have p1036 and p1138 Error, should i replace both sensors?

[@CorsaDForever]

P1138 is related to the second O2 sensor and may indicate a faulty sensor. P1036 has nothing to do with the O2 sensor. You probably had a P0136. If so, it's almost certain that the sensor after the catalytic converter is bad. A thorough diagnosis, with monitoring of the parameters in real time would be indicated to be 100% sure.

[@mohitverma9945]

Having P0420 error code in my corsa 2012 whats the solution?

[@CorsaDForever]

If you don't have any exaust leaks, it seems most likely that the catalyst is fading and is no longer doing its job.

[@D4ny360]

Hi, can you tell me which parts you used? Thanks

[@CorsaDForever]

It is recommended to use Bosch 0258006924 before and Bosch 0258006499 after the catalytic converter. The difference between them is the cable length and the price. For Corsa D with Z12XEP engine I used Bosch 0258006499 for both sensors replacement, the cable is long enough to fit before the catalytic convertor, so you can save some money.

[@CorsaDForever]

Cel mai probabil sonda lambda 1, cea de pe catalizator. Mai poate fi si senzoul MAP de vina, e in spatele admisiei, spre partea șoferului. Pentru o diagnoza precisa, chiar daca nu ai erori, trebuie urmărite valorile pe tester in mers, in timp real. Daca mașina are peste 100.000 km e bine oricum sa schimbi sondele lambda, ca obosesc in timp si iți creste consumul.
