When you Sense Something is Wrong.

When should you have your car’s O2 sensor replaced? These days modern car engines rely on input from several sensors to regulate the engine’s performance as well as its emissions and other vital functions. When something goes wrong with your vehicle’s oxygen sensor, count on The German Car Shop of Littleton to put it right.

FYI (in case you didn’t already know) the oxygen sensor monitors how much unburned oxygen is present in the exhaust as exhaust exits the engine of your German made car. The O2 sensor lets the computer know if the fuel mix is burning rich (meaning not enough oxygen) …or lean (that equals too much oxygen).
