Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

They were so cheap I bought 2 and changed both sides even though only 1 was duff.

The ones I put on my Boxster (same system as my 996) were £17 each (and it was a pig of a job getting them out, had to take it round to a friendly garage who used his oxyacetylene and a lot of leverage...).

Yes, that is the price I have seen too in multiple places (in fact I've also seen cheaper) so I have made contact with independent and will be moving forward with that as well as asking Porsche to double check their quote.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, What's the going rate for the oxygen sensor on a 996?

POST 2Original post

goto www.forestfine.co.uk and have a look. They do original Bosch ones as they are on your car for a lot less money. They were so cheap I bought 2 and changed both sides even though only 1 was duff.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Porsche quoting approx 200 sterling per sensor? [8D]

POST 4Original post

The ones I put on my Boxster (same system as my 996) were £17 each (and it was a pig of a job getting them out, had to take it round to a friendly garage who used his oxyacetylene and a lot of leverage...). £200 quid is probably an hours labour (£100), the part and VAT.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Unfortunately not Paul. It is being suggested that exhaust will need to come off so 200 labour plus 200 for part. I thought this sounds pricey so have requested clarification. I need to buy a error code reader for my car as this would obviously tell me which one is at fault.

POST 6Original post

Probably be easier with the exhaust off... What year is your car?

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

1998 Paul. Great excuse to fit a new exhaust too [ ]

POST 8Original post

FWIW, a Bosch sensor for a '97 Boxster (probably the same for all cars till 2004 though I would have to check) is £75 from ECP. Are they changing both of them? No independents in Dublin...?

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes, that is the price I have seen too in multiple places (in fact I've also seen cheaper) so I have made contact with independent and will be moving forward with that as well as asking Porsche to double check their quote. update: price confirmed by Porsche - 200 labour and 200 per sensor. Awaiting reply from independent.
