Default Cat sensor broken

Hello

Has any one had any problems with their cat sensors? My engine light cam on and Honda diagnostics said that its the secondary oxygen sensor...

Any one heard of this?

Need the sensor replacing at 370 odd pounds!

Wow, at that price I would suggest getting one from the scrap yard, its pretty straight forward to install.

Get one from a breaker. That price is ridiculous.

It is a 10 minute job to replace it.

There are non Honda 02 sensors available too. I don't remember the name of any though, so cannot help more!

Is that the one that screws into the cat? That's f**king ridiculous if it is. I changed my own in 5 mins when the replacement cat had a damaged one, so I changed it over from my old cat.

Get on the phone to a scrap yard. No question.

The secondary sensor only tells you if your emissions are out and shouldn't affect the engine running, AFAIK. I think you can buy "de-cat resistors" for a few
