POO31 help.

[ScottWRX]

Hey guys.

Sorry it's my first time posting here and i'm unsure whether or not I am posting in the correct place.

I have a 2004 Wrx Hatchback and a few days ago my check engine light came on so I took it to the dealer and they came back with the code POO31 and they said that the air fuel ratrio sensor was faulty and needed replacing. They are saying the new sensor was going to cost $646. I was just wondering if anyone knew where I could get a new sensor myself?

Cheers.

Dont be sorry dude enjoy your stay. Do an intro thread so we know what colour your car is too. Did they give you a part number? If you can get that jump on partsouq and price thro them. Partsouq sell genuine bits real cheap overseas and take 7-8 days fedex to nz.

Sweet man. I'll chuck up an intro now

Nah they never gave a part number just the code and that a new air fuel ratio sensor was needed.

P0031 front O2 sensor - heater control circuit low.

Looks like Strong for Subaru and import car parts both say it's 22641AA042, but double check:

Update on the situation.

The local Subaru dealership were going to charge me $646.00 for the new sensor plus $94.00 an hour for labour.

But thanks to you guys I'm going to buy from Partsouq for $256.72 NZD and going to replace myself. Saving a crapton of money!

if its the front sensor you will need an o2 sensor removal tool

22mm spanner+pipe works for me.
