MY SES LIGHT WAS ON FOR TWO DAYS SO I READ THIS SITE AND I GOT A R5/EMX ENGINE SCANNER TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. TODAY THE LIGHT WENT OFF SUDDENLY AND THEN I GOT THE SCANNER THIS AFTERNOON. I DID A SCAN AND CODES P0130 AND P0136 WENT ON. MY SES IS STILL OFF BUT IT REFERS TO THE O2 SENSORS. SHOULD I REPLACE BOTH OR JUST THE PRE-CAT ONE. THEY ARE EXPENSIVE! I SAW WALKER BRAND SENSORS FOR $100 EACH, CHEAPER THAN BOSCH. WHAT DO THE EXPERTS SAY!

 

Don't know the answer to your question but just to let you know - all capital letters means you are yelling at us and that will not get you an answer.

 

I am new to this board as you can see 2 posts compared to 507 posts. I am not here not get anyone all up in arms, just looking for some advice from people who knows more about these cars then me. I will try to watch my CAPS next time.

 

If your car is under warranty jgomis, take it to the dealer and let them repair it for free!

 

AFAIK the 'Owner Repair Manual' for the R56's has not been released yet.

No doubt that Warranty would be the way to go ~ it is even extended to cover emission control items.
