bosch 15716 and bosch 15718 are the same exact sensor, the difference is the length of the wiring the 15718 has a longer wire. Both sensors would go before the catalytic converter. 15717 goes after.
You may have two- one in the exhaust manifold/downpipe, and the other just past the catalytic converter.
Not likely because: Code p0420 refers to a problem with your catalytic converter. The engine computer is able to test that converter by using an oxygen sensor before and after the converter. The computer can only test the converter under very specific driving conditions. If the computer determines that it is a good time to test the catalytic converter it will run the test. It compares the oxygen sensor readings in front of the converter to the readings behind the converter to see if the catalytic converter is functioning properly. If it is not functioning properly it will trigger a p0420. Sometimes if a catalytic converter is on the virge of failing it may fail one test and pass the next. This will cause your check engine light to come off and on every once in a while when the test is performed.
No your car will infact run better (more power), exhaust gasses are able to flow much more freely without a Cat. The downside you will shorten the life of everyone who drives behind you as a Catalytic Converter Converts deady gases to less harmful gases. Highly Illeagal to remove these from you car. Fines in Australia are something in the order of $10,000.
There are to oxygen sensors on a 2004 Chrysler Sebring. They are located on the right side of the engine, against the firewall. Sensor 1 is located in front of the catalytic converter, and sensor 2 is located behind it.
Depending on the engine. On a 4.6 Liter V8 there are 4 sensors 2 upstream and 2 downstream. The 2 upstream sensor's are located before the catalytic converters one on the left side pipe and one on the right side pipe. The 2 down stream sensors are located behind the catalytic converters one on the left side pipe and. one on the right side pipe. The best way to change these is to have the car on a hoist. I have changed mine using a floor jack and jack stands, it's a little tight but you can change them that way.
The catalytic converter is in the exhaust pipe directly behind the engine.The catalytic converter is in the exhaust pipe directly behind the engine.
The catalytic converter is behind the engine.
In the exhaust pipe before the catalytic converter, which is right behind the engine
i have a 2002 and if you get under the van and follow the muffler from back to the motor you will find it. It should be in front or behind the catalytic converter. There are two, one in front and one behind the catalytic converter.
The oxygen sensors in a 2005 Chevy Malibu are in the exhaust system. You'll find them at the end of the down pipes and behind the catalytic converter.
The Catalytic converter is located underneath the vehicle right behind the upstream oxygen sensor
There are two. One before and one after the catalytic converter behind the engine.
The catalytic converter in directly behind the engine. ( might need to use a flashlight ) It is bolted right to the exhaust manifold. The catalytic converter in directly behind the engine. ( might need to use a flashlight ) It is bolted right to the exhaust manifold.
On the exhaust line just behind the area where the 2 manifolds become one but before the catalytic converter. Should have a shroud around it.
Right behind the catalytic converter.
There is an upstream and downstream o2 sensor. The upstream is loctaed in the exhaust manifold before the catalytic converter. The downstream is located behind the catlytic converter.
Post is the O2 sensor located behind the converter and Pre is the sensor located in front of the converter. Sometimes also referred to as upstream and downstream.
