!998 3.2TL - Bad Oxygen sensor

Which oxygen sensor are you replacing? You will need a special socket fitting which cost about $10-$12 and a long extension (about 10-12 inches) if you are replacing either of the two front primary oxygen sensors. No extension required for the aft oxygen sensor. You may need a little WD40 to help loosen it. Good luck!
I just purchased a 1998 3.2TL with 46K miles and the check Engine light came on and the diagnostic test revailed a bad left front primary oxygen sensor. The question is " Should the oxygen sensor go bad so soon?" especially, since the dealer wants $316 to replace it. All comments will be appreciated.

Isn't that one of the things covered under the 150K extended warranty"?

i don't think it applied to 98's. But its worth a try for the extended emissions warranty

I dont think that 98's are covered. I know that my 2.5 isnt, but Im not totally sure about 3.2's. But like u said. Its definately worth a try.
