I don't get that hesitation with mine tho, but a new sensor is better than a 2nd hand one.

My eml light has never been on and both of my sensors are faulty. Both were replaced with eurocarparts sensors because I couldn't justify spending £120 on one sensor and £150 on another. Both worked fine for a couple of months and now I'm back to square one. Thats just my past experience with cheap sensors and they were the ones with the plug on.

Yeah, that's the reason I changed the sensors in the first place. I'm planning on changing them in the next few weeks as its getting annoying waiting for it to warm up.

Did you use a genuine cat, because I've read horror stories on here about pattern part cats.
I've got a mate who works in my local Peugeot dealers and he got me a proper cat,
i'll ring him tomorrow about a price for new sensors. I'll let you know how I get on.

It was a cat off Ecp actually, type approved so should be ok. I'm sure it was something like £270 odd for 2 new sensors but I could be wrong. That's why I'd rather go with a known working second hand sensor. They go for a few quid on eBay. If it doesn't work then It's no great shakes you haven't lost much but saves you £100 if it works.

i'll phone my mate tomorrow, then i'll go and have look in my local breakers,
I think Citroen xsara's have the same sensors and there's more of them there than phase 2 206's.
fingers crossed, I don't think the misses will be too happy if I have to spend another £200 on the car.

That's what you have insurance for

Ouch! I'd get away with doing that because she would class that as an accident,
but spending hard earned on what she calls a f**king heap of sh**e, that should be scrapped or sat on by an
elephant, no way.
she's a strange one my misses.

I totally agree that's what insurance is for but believe it or not insurance is quite high for a 20 year old so if paying £380 saves my no claims then why not.

Just ordered a 2nd hand one, Parts Gateway had a number of breakers with them ranging from £10 to £30.
All OE stuff. Ordered one for £15 delivered with a 90 day warrantee. These are so easy to change it is worth a gamble for £15 just to see if this is what is causing the issue. If this cures it then if item does break after 90 days I will know what needs to be done. If it does not cure it, it only cost £15 to scratch a possibility off the list . Will update once fitted.
Thanks for comments

It doesn't save you at next renewal as you need to declare the bump to the insurance when they ask "Have you had an accident in the last 5 years?" then they want the details and who was to blame.
If you don't declare it and your insurance find out (which they may already be aware of via the CUE database), then they cancel your cover, which means the next time you try and get insurance you have to tick the box that says "Have you ever had insurance refused or cancelled?"
Quite a few companies won't touch someone who has had a policy cancelled, and those that do will increase the premium that much that you will be paying more than what your car is worth.

Hi
Received the sensor, it has a blue connection , my original was green. Wire colours are in order. Is this ok to fit ? or will it give wrong reading.
Thanks
