Good morning,
I very recently had my head gasket and turbo replaced(under warranty thank god) and no more than 3 hours later did a Check Engine light blip. After running the code, I discovered it was the front O2 sensor.
My local Subaru shop wants $158 for the part and another $200 to install it. Now I work at a Ford store and one of my buddies back in the shop says it should be a very easy fix and if I buy the part, he'd install it for a case of beer.
Has anyone done this type of work before? Is it something I should get a trained professional to do or can anyone with half a brain get this job done? Also, is $158 crazy for the sensor? If you know any places where I can get it cheaper, I'd appreciate the help.
