Replaced both front O2 sensors, but still getting a code for one of them.

Is it possible that I installed it wrong or something? I only get the code sometimes, like 1 out of 3 times starting the car. any ideas are welcomed, thank you.

Yes there are 2 front 02 sensors and 1 rear o2 sensors on the a32 max.
The front one by the radiator is HO2 S1 B2 , Heated,Oxygen,Sensor,First Sensor, Bank Two
The other front by the firewall is HO2 S1 B1 Heated,Oxygen,Sensor,First Sensor Bank One
The most rear by in the Cat is HO2 S2** Heated,Oxygen,Sensor,Second Sensor
On the newer models with 4 o2 sensor they will be
HO2 S1 B2
HO2 S1 B1
HO2 S2 B2
HO2 S2 B1

Ok . put a volt meter on the 2 outside wires of the o2 sensor plug leave it plugged in thou . Start the car and you should see 12+ volts on the meter . If you dont you may not be getting voltage to the heater which would require more diagnosis . If you do 12+ volts you may have another bad sensor .
