I ended up calling Bosch and they told me the universal sensor would not work on my car. Too little too late as I can not return the other sensor because we put it on the car. But I did get the right one. The exact one Bosch told me to get and they even told me what store in my area had the one I needed so that was great help. I suspected the blinking CEL was bad news and not to drive it. I put it right back up on the ramps. I got the new sensor and as soon as the rain stops we will go put it in and hopefully it will be the answer. I am just so tapped out with all the repair money I have spent on this car. Thanks for your help. I will let you know if this answers my problem. Oh by the way you mentioned the fuel so do you think if everything goes I could just drive this fuel out? Everyone keeps telling me I should siphon it and then put fuel cleaner and premium gas. Do I need to go this route or just next time put premium or mid-grade? It has about a half tank of gas now. Thanks

Replying to: moe313 (May 26, 2009 7:26 am) yep about 15 hours, jeffyscott is exactly right, and around $4000 for a new long block. So here in California, if you include new radiator, hoses and belts (which you should do), given our high labor rates, this job could over $6000 bucks. Hopefully you might have access to a good used engine ?? or lower labor rates. At the $6000 range the car is approaching a total, so you should plan this operation carefully and try to control your costs or at least shop around and see what 2001s are going for in your area---in other words just replace the car. I'm seein' prices around $8000 asking in the SF Bay Area, so figure $7500 to buy a decent one. It depends a lot on what shape your car is in, mileage on it, etc. |

Mr Shiftright or bpeebles I am in need of some more of your expertise. I have finally replaced the sensor with the right one and all the sensor codes have cleared except I am still getting a cylinder 1 miss-fire. I was told I probably need to replace the coil pack on the #1 plug but I am not sure if that is it or not. I had the plugs and the coil packs replaced it cost me $489.00. There is 70,000 miles on the car it has a 1.8 turbo. Can you advise me on this miss-fire code? Thanks. Also can you replace one "coil" and one plug. We checked the plugs and they look fine. The plugs I just had changed again when I did the normal maintence stuff like the filters, engine flush, plugs, oil change with filter (that I faithfully due every 3000) . Injector cleaned so on and so on. The guy who worked on the sensor for me said he thinks you can replace just one.

Replying to: sphinx1983 (May 27, 2009 2:20 pm) Dont forget to reset all codes after swapping the components. Obviously, if the errorcode stays with the #1 cylinder... the ignitor is not the problem.

Replying to: sroon (May 11, 2009 2:53 am) 1b The indicator about exterior light can be interesting. My 06 is illuminating that one intermittently - seems like one of the front DRLs is intermittently working on my car. Can you have someone examine all the lights at night-time as well as day-time, while car is running and you hit the brakes and test all signals/headlights? 2 major maintenance will be required (N-67000)/R years from now, where R is whichever rate you report above in miles/year, and N is the service interval from your owners manual, in miles. My 06 owners manual might have a gasser section ..I think your car has 1.8T engine... I'll look it up for you if you want, but hopefully you have the correct 07 owners manual. 3 I do not know. 4. Oh yes. Way beyond the scope of vehicles, however. |
