Two issues CEL with code P0030 & rear wheel bearing grind

[seanylee93]

Hi everyone, first time post here so hopefully I've put this in the right area

Over the last couple of weeks I've had a slight grinding in the left rear wheel when turning left, mechanic suggests wheel bearing. Would that be correct as it's only when the wheel is unloaded?
Also am I better off getting an oem part or not?

On a separate note, just yesterday I started the car and the cruise control started flashing. After the drive I got back in the car and started it to go home, this time the CEL was on as well as flashing cruise control . I got the code to display on the dash and came up as P0030. Car seems to run completely normal with the occasional sulphur smell if I do a bit of sprinted driving.

Any idea what would cause that code? Bad O2 sensor?

I did search a bit but thought I might get a better answer asking here.

Hey there!

Yep right on.. P0030 is an 02 sensor, bank 1 sensor 1.. Notorious if you have a preface. As far as I know, Garage88 have the updated 02 sensors.

I ended up bringing to my mechanic today to have a look, he discovered the O2 sensor itself was fine but the heater circuit had failed. Ended up getting it replaced as I didn't want to risk anything else going wrong while the CEL was displaying.. I'm not sure if he gave a reasonable price at $375 supplied and fitted ($100 labour), I know from the US the part is $140 plus postage.
Thanks for getting back to me on that though

Is there any sellers here who do the rear hub assembly for a pre facelift liberty?
I'm not in a huge rush to get it done so I can order the part from someone here if there is a seller.
