sensors

Hi All
I have a vauxhall corsa 99 and I was told that the sensors need replacing. The garage didnt explain much only that its the sensors that control the brain and airways of the car.

My car needs about 10m to warm up and is very slow and often the orange managment light comes on. Can anyone exist with what is going on with my car. The garage said it would cost about �350 to replace all 3 sensors.

Thanks

There are various sensors airflow / lamba, its unusual for all to need replacing, to come to this conclusion he must have put it on a diagnostic Tech 2 , did he give you the faullt codes ?...or has he just taken a wild guess hoping repalcing all 3 will cure the problem

When I had a similar problem on my 2000 (W) Corsa, the orange e/m warning light (consult dealer) having come on, the dealers dignostic computer could only narrow the fault down to one of two sensors. At the time, about 5 years ago, the sensors were about �70 each. I didn`t fancy gambling on tossing a coin & buying one, only to find it was the other at fault. So the mechanic/technician agreed to try one & see if it was ok. Fortunately it was, but I still got a bill for �150 (back then). Sounds like they`re hedging their bets. Try & get them to agree to only replace the faulty item or consult another dealer.

Hi All

He did do a diagnostic test, but did not give me the codes and said he will keep them in case I came back.

I have to decide what I am going to do .

Thanks for your advice.
