This was actually pretty informative, I'd recommend removing the coolant reservoir n being careful if u have the OG plastic hose instead of rubber, taping the reverse star bit screw to socket to reinstall that aluminum tab made reinstall super easy
Thank you so much for the wonderful informative video! I have a 2012 BMW E92; and my Oxygen Sensors are bad. This will defin save the $$ from the shop repair. They also wanted to change spark plugs while everything is apart. Thank you for the video! Cheers from Dallas, TEXAS
Im back with a special request, I watched you video and you recommended the FOXWELL NT510 SCANNER , Well i went ahead and bought it but now I realized that maybe I should learn how to use it in order to do things right, anyway , I'm hoping that you make a video for enthusiasts guys like me on how to use it properly, I don't think I'm the only one out there with this problem, please think about it and help us out, I got this brand new $189 scanner and I'm a little intimidated by it, most the other guys they go too fast pressing bottons and just makes it even more confusing, I hope you'll consider it, thank you and keep up those videos coming, they're greatly appreciated. ✌️✌️✌️
Bro this video is nice straightforward. Would you happen to know where the wiring connector is for the 2005 BMW 318i E90? I can see Sensor 1 for Bank 1, but the wire is out of sight.
hey bro i have a 2011 bmw 328i convertible and my check engine light came on and it show 2c9f oxygen sensor heating after catalyic converter 2. activation and the other is 2AAB variable intake system self diagosis
After catalytic converters I would check the downstream O2 Sensors. If not those, check if you’re throwing a cat below threshold code indicating a bad cat
Juan DontWorryAboutIt thanks brotha! Legit no difference though. Bosch is the OEM supplier for BMW O2 sensors so the one you buy at the dealership is legit just a reboxed Bosch one. They even have the same exact part number. Same part, fraction of the cost 👍🏽
Hello my friend, hope you're having a good Sunday, I really hate to bother you this afternoon but I'm in a pickle over here, my 2010 Beamer 328i has been running a little rough lately so i purchase that little gadget called FIXED just to see what's going on , so right after that it gave me a couple of codes: Cylinder 1 misfiring and Oxigen sensor before Catalyc converter as well, so I watched your videos and followed each step and decided to replace both Oxigen sensors, Spark plugs and Ignition coils just to make sure that everything goes ok, once finished i started the car and now is running like crap and now i get this Service engine soon light and is showing Cylinder 1 misfiring again, what did i do wrong or what can I do to figure out what is wrong with it. Once again, sorry about being a pest, your opinion will be greatly appreciated. Thank yoy
Ok, I changed b2s1 using b1s1 (gray one) but it didn’t clear the code. It is a bosch purchased from FCP. Any recommendations? Code p2099 I was told this is b2s1 sensor
I have code 2CA7 Oxygn Sensor heater 2 before cat. Is it the one you’re doing in the vid and my car wont crank/start. It just happened yesterday and was wondering if those oxygn sensor can cause these cars to not start?
Can an oxygen sensor be faulty without reporting an DTC? What is the best way to test it, can it be cleaned maybe? I have problems on cold start for a few seconds the idle is rough, and afterward everything is good i would say. All glow plugs are changed and the relay too. The car is E91 LCI 318D 105kw 11/09, it has only 1 oxygen sensor I would say only on the DPF, next to the temperature exhaust sensor and the pipe for pressure sensor. Thank you for the answer in advance.
Often times the O2 sensor can be faulty without throwing an engine light. I had this issue before and cleaning it did not help. I'd say get one for cheap and try throwing it in. Also you could check your fuel injectors for any leaks, check the valve cover for any microcracks and see if any oil gaskets are leaking. Any of those could cause cold start hiccups
It says it doesn’t, but you have my word it fits. If you scroll down it has a list of all the models it fits and 2007-2013 328i is listed. It 100% fits! 💪🏽
Can this cause engine misfiring? Cylinder 4,5,6 are misfiring and I already added new spark plugs and ignition coils and I swap them over to cylinders 1,2,3 but the misfiring did not move so it’s cylinders 4,5,6 and I don’t know what to do any idea ?
I would look at what controls cylinder 4,5 and 6. The Bank 2 O2 Sensors control those cylinders as well and could cause a misfire. You could remove the injectors and switch them around and see if the misfire moves
I thought it would go away once I replaced my sending unit. It was cracked at the top and leaking... but it still stayed there. I already took it through it’s drive cycle after clearing the code. It’s still there.
hello you have good videos and I will follow you ... I have a question my car has the same code but the mechanic told me that it has bank 1 and bank which I have to change and I don't know if the mechanic is lying or it is true that we have to change those 2 sensors .. it is true that it has 2 sensors bank 1 and bank 2 .. l have 328i 2008
Thank you brother! So yes. Bank 1 has two sensors under the hood, I point them out in my video. The Bank 2 sensors are plugged into the catalytic converters. You don’t have to replace both sensors, just the one that is acting up. What code is your car throwing?
Dave T yes, you technically could, the only issue is one is shorter than the other so it may not reach. IG you can somehow make the shorter O2 Sensor reach the longer one, you could!
hello i replaced the same sensor and now the car RPMS jump all over the place and the car runs like crap..i have an aftermarket sensor that matched then OEm part..I put the sensor in the correct way..do u have to drive a certain distance for the computer to rest?? MY OLD 02 sensor had a bad heater It had a code..now there is no CODE AND NO CHECK engine light..car runs like crap..please help
Try unplugging the battery and replugging to reset the system. Only thing I could think of is if you mistakenly got the wrong sensor or if they sent you a defective one
Yep! They're the exact same sensor, just different wire lengths. The shorter one runs $120ish, the longer one only $80ish. I just ziptied up the excess and was good to go
I believe it just works as a heat shield to make your sensor not get corroded on in the future. You don't need to re-install it but it may benefit you in the future
@3:30... This rather thick bracket has that ground strap attached to it. Then it's only mounted with 2 aluminum tiny E8 screws into the cylinder head 🤦I'm betting this is where electric problems come from.
Don’t clean the sensor! You can try and it may work for a very short period of time but will throw a code again and have to do all this work again. Just replace
FFS. Stop calling upstream sensors or bank 1 sensor 1 oxygen sensors. They are Air fuel ratio sensors or lambda sensors. They do completely different calculations compared to the actual o2 or oxygen sensor bank 1 sensor 2. Get your shit right or dont post.
As soon as I heard you say every 100k miles and I’m here changing it at 250 🥴 but thx for the vid definitely helps

Nice and well documented video, appreciated !!
Just loosen the coolant housing.move it forward. Then grab the Spencer with some grips.Boom its all over
Bro you think I need to replace bank 1 sensor 1 or only bank 2 sensor 1?
Awesome video, the best one I've seen so far on this topic. Thank you very much!
that means a lot! glad I could help
I got it, i😮 figured out, false alarm !!
Thank you anyway ✌️✌️
Thanks again for your time I appreciate 🙏
My mechanic charged me 70 but good info bro I hope you’re going straight to the gas station next 😂

I am getting a P112D code on my 2011 BMW 328 xdrive. Can it be a bad O2 Sensor ?
is bank 2 for 2,4,6 cylinders pre-cat? And 1 for 1,3,5? Thanks for vid, that socket is something I need to purchase!
technically the N52 inline-6 has two “banks” in the exhaust manifold/cylinder setup. Bank 1: 1, 2 and 3. Bank 2: 4, 5 and 6. I hope this was helpful
The dude at Autozone said the code said Bank 1, sensors 1 and 2 are malfunctioning. Is that the repair you did? Thanks for the great video!!

Did u buy oem sensors? I heard if you buy aftermarket ones they will throw codes
@Motorsports_3 but OEM only
When you get your 02 sensors do they go in a certain order or can you just replace all 4 of them
Another Video oil cooler by radiator drivers side how to replace. Thanks Battery replacement and registration
Hey dude love the videos, do bad o2 sensors cause starting problems ?
Thanks brother! Bad O2 sensors can definitely cause hard starting issues. What exactly is your car doing? Throwing any codes?
IzzyE9X it has a couple camshaft sensor codes I replaced the sensors but the codes didn’t go away ):
Luis Garcia did you clear the codes after? Also you're sure they were camshaft, not crankshaft?
I have this silver looking thing blocking my access to the screws
Will resetting all errors in INPA be the same as the procedure you did with the voxel scanner?
Yep! Should be the same
Long and short are the same part? I didn’t know this. They have different part numbers
yep same part, longer cable though.
Ok, I changed b2s1 using b1s1 (gray one) but it didn’t clear the code. It is a bosch purchased from FCP. Any recommendations? Code p2099 I was told this is b2s1 sensor

The ecu on earlier engines will not tell you if the O2 sensors are bad. Only the later ecu's will show the codes.
With this sensor did you get a p0037 code?
I checked out the link that you put for the bank 2 sensor and it said doesn't fit your vehicle when we have the same car
It says it doesn’t, but you have my word it fits. If you scroll down it has a list of all the models it fits and 2007-2013 328i is listed. It 100% fits! 💪🏽
Hey bro could you help a brother out I just scanned my bmw I got p2098 post catalyst fuel trim system too lean bank 2 any idea of what I need to fix
I replaced the battery on my key fob and it stopped working.
It starts the car but none of the buttons work. I guess I need to get it re programmed.
Common issue, most likely needs to be reprogrammed 💯
Great show 👏
Watd the red plastic chip with wire. As I think he's tried to replace but that red bits I my back seat.. does it clio
thanks for the video...
What is your exhaust setup? Sounds great
secondary cat delete, straight piped resonator and mufflers
What was the code it was throwing for a bad o2 sensor?
I have the N51, hopefully I don't have to remove the secondary air pump to get to that plate.
You do
@@em0481no u dont
Hi i am having p2198 02 Sensor Signal Stuck Rich Bank 2
Sensor. Is this the same 02 sensor you are doing?
P2198 is Bank 2 Sensor 1, so should be the same one.
Looks not that difficult. What was the phenomenon when the sensor was not replaced? thanks
It’s really not! I’m not sure, over time it seems they just burn out as all other sensors do
Just a quick question,
I o2 sensor 2 bank 2 in a bnw 525i, E60 N52 and they say is on the catalyst,
Help please i do not want to all in the wrong one
Sensor 2 Bank 2 will be the O2 sensor under the car located at the primary catalytic converter. I believe it is the right side Cat
IzzyE9X anyway you can find me the link for bank 2 sensor 2? I have a code po159 on my 07 328i
Kakuzu067 www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-oxygen-sensor-rear-bosch-16796
I have 2c7f error, what o2 sensor is it indicates?
Bravo Very Good
Wats orange sensor left of your hand as mines on backseeat
Which timestamp did you see the orange sensor?
Does the link you have for the 02 sensor work on an N51? (328i 2008)
Yep! This will fit the N51 engine
This is what I have 2008 328i. Mine throws code p2098
Can this cause engine misfiring? Cylinder 4,5,6 are misfiring and I already added new spark plugs and ignition coils and I swap them over to cylinders 1,2,3 but the misfiring did not move so it’s cylinders 4,5,6 and I don’t know what to do any idea ?
I would look at what controls cylinder 4,5 and 6. The Bank 2 O2 Sensors control those cylinders as well and could cause a misfire. You could remove the injectors and switch them around and see if the misfire moves
What do you when the sensor is rusted and I've been putting rust penetrant for 4 days now?
get a torch and blast it
Bro I can’t get that behind bolt. The space is so tiny and it doesn’t really moves
If this sensor is for bank 2 sensor 1 will this same exact sensor work for bank 2 sensor2??
To my knowledge, the Sensor 1 and 2 are different from one another but they are removed and installed the same way
IzzyE9X do you know the engine code for 07 328i?
Kakuzu067 what code are you throwing
Is that the Precat oxygen sensor? I'm getting a code for 2C3D Oxygen Sensor Before Cat
Yep, it was a precat sensor
@@IzzyE9X thank you for your video & prompt reply 🙌
Definitely! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask 💯
@@IzzyE9X is there any problem using BOSCH brand oxygen sensors? Or should I use the BMW brand?
Not at all! Bosch is the OEM brand that BMW uses. It’s the exact same part as the BMW brand, for a fraction of the cost
Hello are downstream and upstream interchangeable?
they are except the lengths are different. you can use the longer sensor where the shorter goes since it’s cheaper, but not vice versa
@@IzzyE9X Thanks
Hey I’m wondering what code were you getting ? It would be helpful if you said which code. I’m getting a P2098 code 😣
SmokinSkittles is that the only code it’s throwing? What symptoms it issues is it giving ya?
IzzyE9X yeah it’s is a loss of power. Poor drivability. Getting to the point where I’m just gonna take it to someone.
I thought it would go away once I replaced my sending unit. It was cracked at the top and leaking... but it still stayed there. I already took it through it’s drive cycle after clearing the code. It’s still there.
SmokinSkittles have you checked your fuel pressure regulator? It could be the O2 but usually it would throw a code with it
SmokinSkittles it could be your catalytic converters or post O2 sensors
hello you have good videos and I will follow you ... I have a question my car has the same code but the mechanic told me that it has bank 1 and bank which I have to change and I don't know if the mechanic is lying or it is true that we have to change those 2 sensors .. it is true that it has 2 sensors bank 1 and bank 2 .. l have 328i 2008
Thank you brother! So yes. Bank 1 has two sensors under the hood, I point them out in my video. The Bank 2 sensors are plugged into the catalytic converters. You don’t have to replace both sensors, just the one that is acting up. What code is your car throwing?
I got the same car, the codes I got is code P0056 and P0160 and they both say Bank 2 Sensor 2 . I just don’t know which one is it.
Hey man witch one is the upstream o2 sensor?
The upstream sensors will be the one I replaced and the one right in front of if. The one I replaced is Bank 2 and the one before that is the Bank 1
Upstream is before the catalytic converters, downstream is after.
That back one came off so easily he could have just used a spanner wrench.
WAIT IF THERE THE SAME CAN YOU JUST MOVE THE BANK 2 SENSOR TO THE BANK 1?
Dave T yes, you technically could, the only issue is one is shorter than the other so it may not reach. IG you can somehow make the shorter O2 Sensor reach the longer one, you could!
So bank 2 is the longer one right
Yep correct, Bank 2 is the longer one, so that lets it fit in Bank 1
Will this make my car go into limp mode?
What is the point in that metal plate? Would it be ok to leave it out?
I personally left mine out, I believe it’s to stop oil from falling on the sensor or maybe works as a heat shield
hello i replaced the same sensor and now the car RPMS jump all over the place and the car runs like crap..i have an aftermarket sensor that matched then OEm part..I put the sensor in the correct way..do u have to drive a certain distance for the computer to rest??

Try unplugging the battery and replugging to reset the system. Only thing I could think of is if you mistakenly got the wrong sensor or if they sent you a defective one
Do you know if the shorted lambda sensor will be long enough ( bought a different length 😩)
I think the shorter one is justtt a bit too short if I’m not mistaken
@@IzzyE9X do you have the part number please, and can this cause misfire and mix control codes, car was misfiring through gears
So both the O2 Sensors are the same?
Yep! They're the exact same sensor, just different wire lengths. The shorter one runs $120ish, the longer one only $80ish. I just ziptied up the excess and was good to go
IzzyE9X will this work for bank 2 sensor 2??
Was the battery on?
Mine was still plugged in, but I recommend unplugging the battery before doing any electrical work
Do you know the benefit of that metal plate covering the sensor? Do I need to reinstall it lol
I believe it just works as a heat shield to make your sensor not get corroded on in the future. You don't need to re-install it but it may benefit you in the future
@3:30... This rather thick bracket has that ground strap attached to it. Then it's only mounted with 2 aluminum tiny E8 screws into the cylinder head 🤦I'm betting this is where electric problems come from.
Would that make cylinder 6 misfire code? I changed my plug coils and purge valve dmtl pump..07 bmw 328i
Maybe the fuel injector, Valve Cover, or spark plugs wiring
@@IzzyE9X was upstream o2 sensor
Up stream o2 sensor is before the cat correct?
wicked
How of you know if it’s up stream or down stream
Upstream are the two under the hood, downstream are under the car
I have bmw 328i. Where is the location of heated sensor 02?

Don’t clean the sensor! You can try and it may work for a very short period of time but will throw a code again and have to do all this work again. Just replace
Are u located anywhere near NJ???
I'm not, actually down south
god damn an old toyota SUV is so much easier to take an O2 sensor off, why did BMW make it so complicated LOL
