C8 Oxygen Sensor Issue

I have a 2012 Citroen C8 diesel with 30,626 km. I'm seeing check engine light, an error stored, and higher fuel consumption, pointing to the O2 sensor. I'm checking the wiring now, but has anyone else had O2 sensor issues?

Whoa, check engine light and higher fuel consumption sounds familiar! I had something similar on my C8 a while back. Have you checked the cable and plug connection to the O2 sensor? That's where my problem was!

Could you elaborate on the specifics of the cable and plug connection issue you encountered? Was it corrosion, physical damage, or a loose connection? Any details you can provide would be appreciated.

Okay, so I am no expert, but I remember the mechanic showing me the old sensor. The plug looked kinda corroded and the cable was frayed. Honestly, I'd suggest taking it to a workshop. They can test it properly.

Your experience helped a lot. It was indeed a defective cable and plug connection to the oxygen sensor. Replaced the sensor for 95€, and the symptoms are gone. Thanks for the help.
