Vibe Oxygen sensor Replacement Pre and Post Catalytic

[@norbertzimpfer7548]

Awesome and very detailed instructions. Wish all youtube guys were this meticulous

[@chevyvantravel9735]

best explanation and demonstration...

[@94Whiskey]

Thank u! I just replaced my upstream & downstream O Sensors....your video truly helped me the process!

[@cass71291]

Just wanted to say thank you sir. A very detailed and well addressed video. Good to go.

[@cdjhyoung]

Thanks for the video. I've been dreading doing this, but you've made it look easy.

[@MaxOrDieYT]

Its better than paying a mechanic.

[@scottgripman8858]

Excellent Video - Saved $$$ with this video for my daughters 2003 Pontiac Vibe. Thank you Fred!!!

[@seanuh60]

Thanks for the great video. I just replaced both of mine on my 2004. My pre sensor actually looked like your post sensor. Now just waiting to reset the codes.

[@rubenreza]

My downstream is stuck. Another video says I need to run the car to heat it up down there. I was under the impression that you had to do this with the engine cold.

[@victortorres2254]

My downstream was very stuck. Would not move for anything. I ended up cutting the wires and slipping a 22mm wrench on it for better grip. Called my bro to get under car with me for extra leverage.

[@leewilliams7443]

one of the best videos ever made ya tell everything down to perfect detail thanks you were a very big help

[@andreaarrigo4428]

Great video! Thank you for the clear detailed instructions. Will be replacing on my vibe this weekend! :)

[@f14tomcataocretired95]

Great video with super detailed instructions. Bout to do this on my son-in-law 2006 Vibe. Got a question and I know I am a bit late, 8 years late and not sure if you can answer this. Do you know where I can get the 8-Point Torx Socket to fit that your o2 Sensor socket during the Post o2 removal or do you know the size of that torx bit. Been searching for 2 weeks for a large Torx Bit Set. BIG THANKS!

[@stepheng.5623]

Great video! Thanks for the post. Best little car I've ever owned. Love my vibe!!

[@syedjavedahmad9719]

Best teacher, keep up the good work. Thanks a bunch. 👍👍

[@drippingjuices]

This is great . Thank you. My celica gts have the exact engine. 1. And here is my question. Is this the oxygen / gas ratio sensor? It is right ? 2. When i went to purchase one at my local auto parts. They asked me if i wanted the " before " or " after" catalytic converter sensor. ?? From what i can tell. U replaced the " before" sensor. 3. Did u also change the after calytic converter ? 4. Do i also need to change that ? Why / why not? Thank you.

[@thistime9435]

Thanks a lot I just 02 sensor using your video and it really helped a lot

[@jammin1881]

Thanks for posting and amazing video. I have a P0137 (low voltage on O2 sensor) and the fun engine light warning that comes with it. It doesn't say what bank or what number and was wondering if anyone knew how to find out? Before I go full on and replace both! 🤣

[@luisochoa7349]

Thanks for your help, I have a P0136 and already replaced the sensor after catalytic but the light still on, any idea?

[@buickracer455]

Is bank#1 the pre or post sensor?

[@markjuarez6469]

I've spent about 2 hours looking for this thing on my Vibe GT. Is it possible the location is different?

[@cythrault]

I had trouble with removing the pre-cat o2 sensor with my o2 socket (Lisle 12390) because it could not reach deep enough below the plate.(only 1 cm) and another I bought (OEM 25001) is too long (8 cm) to fit between the sensor and the firewall. Your socket seems perfect. What's the make/model?

[@lustderf]

Martin ThomasSocket was from the following set: Alltrade 948005 Master Sensor Socket Kit Check out the link in the video description, has other helpful install tips and parts list.

[@geobioboo]

Upstream: 234-9052 -- Downstream: 234-4233

[@rickdear]

Hi, Im hearing different terminology pertaining to these sensors. Which sensor is bank one, and which is bank two. Or which is upstream and which is down stream. Or does it matter which one you use.

[@lustderf]

It matters which one you use, the two sensors perform slightly different functions and have two different part numbers. The upstream is next to the engine ( pre catalytic convertor), the post stream sensor is further away (after exhaust passes through one more catalytic convertors). The upstream takes a sample of unprocessed exhaust, the downstream takes a gas sample after the gasses have been "processed" by the catalytic convertor, measuring the process effectiveness.

[@rickdear]

ok thx very much

[@chrisbusenkell]

My Vibe is a 2003, and for my year at least, the O2 sensors are NOT A strongpoint. It burns through these fairly frequently, replacing 2 sensors every few years. I wish I knew that sensors aren't some uber-complicated, secret piece of alien hardware that only witch doctors know the location of. O2 sensors are not hard to find, don't require a shop sized lift to replace or a lot of tech know how. They're easy.

[@remelitomendoza6666]

Just to let u know that Pontiac vibe is the same engine as the Toyota Corolla 2003-2008

[@arbidmorales1495]

quisiera saber codigo original toyota sensor banco #1pontiac vibe 2005.por fabor.for please

[@Don_Iocco]

The tip of that one is different because it is a BOSCH. Not a denso

[@carreteras101]

thanks for the excellent video!

[@PuluCeeBagumba]

Great instruction. Did you run over a cat at one point? At 4:20 I see cat hair on that shroud. 😾

[@lustderf]

Not quite,.. Previous owner ran over a dead deer, fur and bits everywhere on the underside.

[@PuluCeeBagumba]

Fred Lyst lmfao!

[@alphaphotoandvideo]

im lost so the FWD has the sensor next to the motor, and the AWD under the chasis? correct?

[@lustderf]

+alphaphotoandvideo Would need someone with an AWD to confirm, from what I have found due to the way the exhaust is routed in an AWD, the under car sensor has a longer wired lead. To make room for the drive shaft the exhaust components on the AWD some item including the O2 sensor were configured differently.

[@bigbluecrab]

There are 2 one forward the cat. conv, one after..

[@upr1ght970]

Fred/Alpha...on my '04 AWD the wire for the downstream sensor (post-cat) is routed under the front passenger seat. The penetration/boot is about 4" forward of where the front passenger door meets the center pillar...roughly under the front passenger's left butt cheek. The first sensor is pretty much as shown for the FWD...behind the exhaust manifold, top rear of engine compartment. Mine came with a heat shield around it, like one of those "lamp shades" they put on pets necks to keep them from chewing their stitches. (bought the car used, so don't know if that was original ....does a good job of isolating the ceramic and wiring from the upward flow of heat.) GREAT video...thanks!

[@masterofnone]

Well done video. Thanks

[@heliflyer7]

Very helpful, thumbs up!

[@robertjames6255]

Great video Thank u

[@MrJVisionz]

How do you know which to fix if your car is sputtering?

[@lustderf]

+MrJVisionz Would require more information. Any engine codes, does it sputter just after starting, all the time. Was there any other recent changes.

[@simonhenhoeffer8934]

@@lustderf mine will rev quickly up and down periodically dnw. Also Car squeaks when in first gear going slow when I let off gas and lurches forward a bit... Any thoughts? Sometimes when going over bumps as well. Seems to be more of a sudden forward orstopping motion problem not up and down...

[@user-zd3ns6wx7y]

Thank you so much

Super helpful 👍🏻
