Great Buy for my 2004 Honda Civic EX
By W. Ullrich
Car was 6 years old w/118,000 mi.....Needed to replace O2 sensor so that car could pass emissions inspection. Bought this part 2 years ago on Amazon at significant savings (I think it was $154 when I bought it) compared to Honda dealer or local auto parts stores. Although the car was originally equipped with a Denso part, is an exact replacement. Installation was fairly easy as the original was installed with anti-seize compound on the threads. (The replacement also came with the anti-seize pre applied.) The convienent location on my Civic EX allowed me to use a 7/8" standard open end wrench instead of a special socket typically needed for this type of part. Sensor now has 42,000 mi. on it with no problems so far.

Replacement air/fuel sensor ... for the 2005 Civic EX in our case. Our civic was throwing a P0134 error which is a problem with the first sensor ... the one before the catalytic converter. Unlike a typical "oxygen (O2) sensor" these things are *expensive*. Dealer was talking in the $400+ range for diagnosis, part, and install. Having to replace critical emission control equipment at 80,000 is a failure on Honda's part... I read this is a common problem for the Civics.This is not a difficult repair for the DIY. The sensor can be reached from under the car and you only need an open end wrench (7/8" works), not the typical O2 sensor tool sold for these gizmos. I was expecting the dead one to be stuck due to living in the exhaust stream for 80k miles but the anti-seize compound did it's job and it came out without a struggle. (note: the new sensors arrives with anti-seize on threads) The Haynes manual suggests that you run the car a couple of minutes to heat things up and that will help the removal. (The exhaust will be hot if u run the car, don't get burned.) I also sprayed the sensor - exhaust connection with penetrating oil before beginning.So unplug and remove the old sensor, thread in the new one and plug it back in to the wiring harness. I pulled the fuse for the PCM during the replacement ... once the new sensor was plugged in the check engine light was cleared and we've been good to go since.

Would be nice, if I was sent the right one!!!
By Aden Lafayette
This is a great OEM replacement for the 04-05 civic 1.7l vtec motor. One of the best prices (at the time) on the net. Only $160.So I ordered it a few weeks ago. Received it. The box was right, it had the 15473 product number on it, but when I opened it up, inside was a GENERIC no name made in china sensor, not the beloved made in Japan Bosch sensor. Ok, maybe there was a mistake, so I used Amazon's easy exchange policy, sent the wrong one back and picked up my new one from the post office.Surely I thought, the same mistake can't happen again. Guess what, it did. THE EXACT same problem. The right product packaging with the wrong item. The o2 sensor inside wasn't even a wrong bosch sensor, it wasn't Bosch at all! A cheap generic Chinese ripoff of a sensor. The guy below me seemed to have ordered his at the same time, but he seemed to have gotten the right one. Perhaps the warehouse I was getting mine shipped from had screwed up royally, or perhaps the vender Amazon was getting these o2 sensors from had screwed up form the factory.Who knows, but to say I was disappointed to get the wrong product TWICE, is an understatement. I called Amazon and let them know of this gigantic screw up, and that they should check into this problem so other people don't get screwed like I did. I notice now, a few days later, the posting is back up, but now its selling for $211 instead of the $160ish it cost me at the time. I don't know what the heck Amazon is doing. So buyer beware, maybe they fixed the problem, maybe they did not. I would have loved to receive this Wideband bosch sensor, as its an EXCELLENT sensor, and in fact is an upgrade from the OEM in my opinion, but now I have to buy elsewhere. Rockauto has great pricing luckily.
