Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Troubleshooting here we go again, just got back from the shop

just came back from the dealership. they put the 'stique on the diag and found that i need a bank #1 & #2 sensor replaced at $136/each, 1.5 hr labour for bank #1, and 1 hr for bank #2. they also said that the IMRC was stuck closed and will eventually need to be replaced, at a cost of $450/500.
do these sound like reasonable prices, or am i getting fleeced? does anyone have any alternatives that i can look at? i live in scarborough, sp i need a relatively close alternative.

The stealership is ripping you off. If you own a 7/8 wrench and know how to turn it you can change your own O2's. There is a Bosch replacement available at most autoparts stores for $65 USD a piece.

www.oxygensensors.com and if you have an autozone, you can get a loaner o2 removal tool. It's like a normal socket except it has a slit in it for the o2 wire to go in.
