Hello All,

Apologies for reviving a thread started in 2004, and continued in 2010, here in 2018 - but I'm doing this mainly because my question today relates fairly directly to helpful stuff which was posted back then.

We're 15 years into Beat ownership now, and ours is still going strong......except that the Engine Check Light lit the day before yesterday - for the first time since accepting the car all those years ago. We did have a check light issue when we first bought her, documented in other old threads on this forum (which the car sales place that sold it had to rectify otherwise we would have rejected the car), but this is a new and different fault.

Bridging the connectors and reading the codes over the last few days (several times, on two different occasions, with ECU reset carried out after) has consistently resulted in 41 = Oxygen Sensor Heater.

A search of this forum found this thread (and one other, at http://www.u-ukhbc.co.uk/vbb/showthr...+oxygen+sensor ) to be relevant, but by now, in 2018, the original Oxygen Sensors ( 36531-P36-003 ), which were £339.94 inc VAT back in 2014, are completely out of stock worldwide according to the Honda Dealer in Canterbury this morning. So, this means I'll have to track down a suitable alternative - which at the price above is probably a good thing!

My friendly neighbourhood garage, who look after my Civic and my Beat, are happy to replace the sensor providing I can get some information about which specific compatible sensor to get.

In the other thread referred to above, Steve M kindly provided some links to sensors which were available via eBay back in 2014 and it was said that a Honda Civic sensor should be OK with a bit of wiring extension.

Have any of you had experience of replacing the Oxygen Sensor since the subject was discussed before and can provide any further info? With regard to the Honda Civic-compatible sensor, which model/year Civic would this be?

The items in the eBay links provided in 2014 are obviously long since gone, but there's a current listing at: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151933084...m=151933084858 which relates to the 2014 one.

Any further light anyone can shed on obtaining the correct aftermarket Oxygen Sensor that can 'talk' correctly with the Beat ECU (with a wiring extension if necessary) would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Andy.
