CEL on MY05 Outback 2.5i

Hi all,

I'm getting a CEL on the Outback at present. Reading the code, it's P0032 (HO2S Heater Control Circuit High, Bank 1 Sensor 1).

Seems I've got a failed front O2 sensor. The car has 130,000km on it, is this expected?

I'll just buy from overseas, no way I'll be paying a stealership the $500+ they wanted for the same sensor on the GT Spec.B...

Fixed this with a replacement sensor.

The original was Hitachi brand, which goes with the Hitachi manifold pressure sensor and throttle body, so I suspect I also have a Hitachi ECU.

Unfortunately, I'm now getting a throttle position sensor error code. Seems it's not a good year for me with sensors (I had the pre-cat sensor go in my Liberty as well).
