Howdy! I have 2000 Forester L , automatic, 2.5L engine, +80,000, which is showing a CEL/ECU P1133 fault code. I believe this is bad O2 sensor, but I do not know if I have more than one sensor, and it's (their) location. I figure I should have all the O2 sensors replaced since Subaru recommends at
60,000.
However I want to take to a local (very good) mechanic rather than the dealer (80 mile away) who always tries to force transmission flush, injector flush, brake flush...a general douching for +$1200... which (IMHO) is a rip-off.
Can any one help with number of O2 sensors? and general locations (exhaust manifolds, cat converter, etc)?
Thanks folks!!!
