So glad a 2x year-old car is still in such a good condition! Gasoline or diesel car deserve a well maintenance

Great video just changed my oxygen sensor, it's more difficult if you don't have the oxygen sensor socket as you'll need to remove the whole intake manifold to use the 22mm spanner

Maybe a Mark 4 Golf is the easiest car to work on? I don't know...
but after spending endless amounts of money at garages on cars, I actually bought my own tool set, started watching these videos and I've learnt loads.
I've changed the discs and pads and the ABS sensors on a VW Golf mk4, I've done the brakes on my Renault Clio 182 as well. 💯😁🤣
Currently in the process of learning how to remove a sheared nut...
My new moto is, I don't care if it takes me year to do it, I'll do it on my own now, 1 nut at a time! 💯

Nice job, I have a question, does the oxygen sensor have two parts, one on back side of motor exhaust, and the second part conected to catalitic conector, which both parts are connected in black plastic box with jack conector, but in this video is only changed the upper part to motor side: Is it also necessary to replace the other part of connection to catalitic convertor or is it different part not lambda or oxygen sensor? Thanks for explanation!

I have a question for you. My car is 2001 VW Golf 1.6 8v Sr AKL engine.Does the car have one or two oxygen sensors?

[KyleEdwards-srqp]

Is this o2 sensor before the catalytic converter?

[saby]
