Hey everyone.
So I drive an 03 1.8L VW Jetta. It’s not a TDI but this is the best place I’ve found to get advice when I find myself in a jam.
Recently my engine light came on, and we checked the code and it’s coming up for O2 sensor which makes sense since I’ve recently been seeing some performance issues that would likely be related (like lagging in acceleration, and trouble turning over on occasion but not always).
Anyway, family wants to do the repair themselves, and these home repairs have not ALWAYS gone well. I’ve watched a couple videos on YouTube and just want to see if anyone has any advice before I delve elbow deep into this mess and end up with a bigger problem?
Don’t tell me to just take it to a mechanic because that out of the question. Really I’m just looking for advice on what part to avoid/prefer, what might make this easier and what not to do. ?
Any help is appreciated, even if my stepdad probably won’t listen until it’s too late.
