Front end will never be the same again. Now I have a new problem. Well it's not new but this is the third time since owning my car that I have burnt up a set of 02 Sensors. There is only 78000 on the clock and I keep having to replace them. I think it's the modifications that are contributing to this problem but I'd like to know if anyone has tried the Bosch Platinum 02 sensors and are they worth the money. Any help is welcome. Thank you.

Same problem?? Is the car running lean? 2000 GTI 1.8t 1998 Ford Contour SVT - FOR SALE!! PM me for details
