What is an O2 Sensor?

Simply explained, your German car’s O2 sensor is responsible for one important thing. It measures how much unburned oxygen is in the exhaust. It tells your car’s electronic unit the correct air-to-fuel ratio for maximum performance. The German Car Shoppe helps keep Denver area drivers on the road, knowing everything about your O2 sensor.

Here are some signs that it is going bad –

1. There is a noticeable loss of fuel efficiency.

2. You can smell something like rotten eggs from the exhaust.

3. You even see black smoke coming from the back end.

4. The sure sign…the dreaded check engine light comes on.

These are just some of the reasons to make an appointment at The German Car Shoppe, located at 5115 Santa Fe Drive in Littleton, to have your O2 sensor checked thoroughly. They are always a phone call away for all of your Denver vehicle’s mechanical needs, (303) 798-2287. Discover more at thegermancarshoppe.com.
