I have a 2003 VW Golf and my check engine light is on. I had a mechanic read the codes - P0036 and P0141. I know it's the Oxygen Sensor - Bank 1 Sensor 2. How much will this cost to replace? And how important is it?
Honestly it is not very expensive to replace, but it is not extremely important. What it does is measure the oxygen/fuel level coming out of the engine. This tells the computer that the engine is either using the right air/fuel mixture or allows the computer to change the mixture slightly to allow the car to run properly. You could pull the sensor out and clean the terminal as it usually has alot of carbon build up due to its location, but this is normally a temporary fix. I hope this helps you with your problem.
