Oxygen Sensor

Hi,

What is the best thing to use to clean an oxygen sensor on a mk5 Fiesta? Is WD-40 or carb cleaner any good?

Also, how easy is it to do this on the above car?

Many thanks

Ok thanks,

basically a code reader reports it has emission problems and mentions the o2sensor. I hope it's that and not the catalytic converter. Will the cheapest one do http://www.eurocarparts.com/lambda-sensor

I can do basic things such as oil changes, is this something relatively easy to do? Mk5 fiesta.

Many thanks

Interesting about the v power, not sure if my little fiesta would like it though.

A bosch one seems about 50 quid plus the usual 25% discount or so on eurocarparts. Being bosch I presume it would become pre wired
Thanks

Ok thanks,

Swear when I looked earlier there was a Bosch item.

I am looking at this,

Does not give a great information, but £5 more than

Looks different but not really sure what the difference is?
