well, driving to work today and the SES popped on.. great.. didn't feel anything different.. after work i went to auto zone and code reader showed p0420.. not surprised as I had to replace the other side cat & 02 about a year ago, only matter of time before the other one goes right?
anyways.. that i can deal with i know what the issue is and how to fix it. weird thing is on the way home i also noticed the oil pressure gauge pegged to high. based on research( mostly this site thanks THENEWX!!) that should just indicate that the sensor is bad and needs to be replaced., fine i can handle that.
thing that is bugging me is.. why both about approx the same time.. i don't see any way they are related expect bot are sensor related.. could it be some electical issue? I have read on here about the IPDM issues.. could that be involved?? pure coincidence?
first thing ill do is change the oil sensor, I did just do an oil change with the regular castrol gtx HM 5w30 and a blue puraltor filter.. never had issues with those.
can I put the actual gauge in there or just the dummy version which is what it has from factory?
Im going to do this cat replacement, i had the dealer do it last time but i cant afford that again... though this time i think ill change the 02 sensor first and see if that is the issue instead of the actual cat itself.
any other thoughts?
I have also been thinking about replacing the X.. I love it but it is becoming a bit high maintainence.... but a really dont want a car pmnt. .. decisions!
and really about the only thing i want to replace it with is a new X p4x...
