Excellent pick up power after the Oxygen sensor clean

[Budz]

Hi yaa, my Verso-S has done 91k miles and recently I took it to a garage to get the tensioner belt checked as there was a small noise comes when accelerate on hills. This later figured out a play in the tentioner unit and awaiting for the part to be replaced. 

The technician droves the car for a bit and said to me the car isn't pulling much and he had to accelerate so much to get it going. I didn't realise this as im used to it for the last 2yrs now since I bought it second hand.

I then remember a video from the YouTube and insist him to clean the oxygen sensor for me after checking the sound which he did. He wasn't that keen on cleaning it but after me bugging him he did in the end.

Boy, there's a massive improvement in the pick up now, just touch the accelerator a bit and it's moving quickly. I saw lots of carbon been built on the oxygen sensor when removed. 

 

So, I just wanted to advise,  if your car is like over 60k, get the oxygen sensor cleaned and see the difference in the pick up yourself
