Engine light came on over the weekend, so I called the dealer and they wanted 80 bucks just to hook it up. So i took it to my mechanic and he did it for free, got the code P013813 said it was the O2 sensor B1 S2 High Volt. Told be its the sensor in the back, so the question is do they go out often or what can cause it all i got is intake and muffler. The dealer wants 150 bucks just for the sensor what do you guys recommend is it ok to buy a aftermarket one or not?
Thanks

What makes them go out my car only has 37k? How hard is it to do yourself, where is it located in the front or back?

oh yeah, dont buy anything from the stealership; you'll ALWAYS find a better deal online.

Check the FAQ's for some help
