Bad 02 Sensor.
I just came back from Auto zone. I got check engine light last night. P0138 bank 1 O2 sensor is bad. I do have a extended Warranty when i bought my car. Here is the problem. I have a Short Ram Intake and a y-pipe. Should I Waste my time by going to the stealer ship and have them look at it and tell me it is not covered under the extended warranty, because i have a after market stuff in my car? Some one give me an opinion on this. My Deductible is 100 bucks.

Do it yourself so you don't have to pay $100. An O2 sensor is about $30 under your deductable and its easy to replace. But if you must go to the dealer, I would imagine the technician would frown on that Y-pipe more than the Intake. The technician will first notice that the precats are missing and that would automatically trigger something in his head that it was altered and more than likely would deny you warrany coverage.

Obviously there is more than one stealership in your neck of the woods. Is the extended warranty good at any dealership - one would think so. Just take it to a stealer that you don't normally do business, or conversely take it to one you do normally do business with and if they turn you down threaten to take your business elsewhere from now on and see if they rise to the bait. The best defence is a good offence, lol!

Ok thank you, That's what I will do I guess. How much can you get a O2 sensor for. They not going to give me the part under my warranty? I don't remember they said they will do that.

Try partznet.com or oxygensensorwholesale.com
