Hi there Guys,
Since Front 02 sensors are known to be a common issue on our model cars , i wanted to share the following with you all.
I recently started having intermittent idle issues with the car but everything else is ok. After doing fair bit of research , i found out it can relate to 3 - 4 most common things.
Dirty MAF Sensor
Vacuum Leaks
Filter in Bango bolts and
O2 sensor
I cleaned the MAF sensor and the issue didnt go away. I then checked the bango bolts and found out that the filters were already removed. I checked for vacuum leaks and all hoses seemed to be fine. Then i spoke with Matt (Kido) and he basically told me it might be my O2 sensor (thanks for that Matt).
I checked my current front O2 sensor and the number on it is : 22641AA220
I have been told that there is an updated version of the O2 sensor and the part number for that is 22641AA391.
So my search for the O2 sensor began, checked with subaru, mrt , phat etc. price ranging from $250 - $480.
Then i found these guys on ebay !

02 sensor is listed for $183.99 with free postage and delivery and they are located in Australia.
I bought one of these today and waiting for delivery, i will give you an update once i receive the new sensor and after i fit it on the car!
I thought this post might save someone out there bit of time and hopefully money ...
Cheers,
Ras
