Car Forum / Hyundai Cars / March 2004O2 Sensor...
I have a 2000 Elantra - as luck would have it, right after my 60K warranty ran out, the 'Check Engine Light' came on. A friend of mine who runs a transmission business (who can check the codes) said that it's the O2 sensor, and that they're like $300 to replace!!!! Is this true??? Bosch O2 sensors (OE Type) are $130-150. The rest will be labor. Check around, I'm sure you can find a place that will do it for about $200. >I have a 2000 Elantra - as luck would have it, right after my 60K warranty >ran out, the 'Check Engine Light' came on.

Hyundai Oxygen sensor is cheaper than Bosch aftermarket sensor. >>I have a 2000 Elantra - as luck would have it, right after my 60K warranty >>ran out, the 'Check Engine Light' came on.

Cheaper or not, I didn't suggest buying a Bosch Wideband sesnor, just a standard OE Type. If the warranty doesn't cover it I'd trust the Bosch sensor to last a lot longer and be more accurate than the Hyundai-built sensor. Plus, I'd be willing to bet that any Hyundai dealer will charge more than $130 for the sensor (plus another $75-150 for labor), even if it is only half that price. >>In article <losm30llmgmudt55pj2hl1mbpr5fhoc9av@4ax.com>, Jason > <none.of.your.business@see.left.of.at.com> wrote: [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >Cheaper or not, I didn't suggest buying a Bosch Wideband sesnor, just >a standard OE Type. If the warranty doesn't cover it I'd trust the "OE Type" or not(you don't know that), don't assume aftermaket part is cheaper than Hyundai replacement part, OK? >Bosch sensor to last a lot longer and be more accurate than the >Hyundai-built sensor. Plus, I'd be willing to bet that any Hyundai No, Hyundai does not bulid the sensors. They are made by KEFICO. More reliable than Bosch sensors. And cheaper too. >dealer will charge more than $130 for the sensor (plus another $75-150 >for labor), even if it is only half that price. >>In article <losm30llmgmudt55pj2hl1mbpr5fhoc9av@4ax.com>, Jason >><none.of.your.business@see.left.of.at.com> wrote: [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > dealer will charge more than $130 for the sensor (plus another > $75-150 for labor), even if it is only half that price. Bosch sensors are notorious as aftermarket replacements on chrysler cars and probably just as bad on Hyundai. Better stick with the Hyundai sensor. >>In article <losm30llmgmudt55pj2hl1mbpr5fhoc9av@4ax.com>, Jason >><none.of.your.business@see.left.of.at.com> wrote: [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > dealer will charge more than $130 for the sensor (plus another $75-150 > for labor), even if it is only half that price Our 2000 Accent was going through sensors like they were MADE to expire at 5000 miles (warrantteed) until the dealer found a crack in the exhaust manifold - turns out the sensors were all probably good.....your milage may vary. >I have a 2000 Elantra - as luck would have it, right after my 60K warranty >ran out, the 'Check Engine Light' came on.

True or not, check the emissions warranty. > In article <Xns9499659AA550921740@129.250.170.83>, Christopher Bell > <cabell@nospam.hotmail.com> wrote: [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > True or not, check the emissions warranty. > Sounds high as most oxygen sensors for american cars run much lower, many only about $60. |
