Captur Oxygen Sensor Issue

Hey, I've got a perplexing issue with my 2020 Renault Captur diesel. It's done 114793 km. The check engine light comes on and off, and fuel consumption has increased. Diagnostic scans point to a failing oxygen sensor. I'm wondering if it's a defective cable or plug. Anyone else had this?

I had something similar with my Captur. I'm not sure about the engine, but the symptoms sound familiar. Have you checked the wiring to the sensor? Sometimes a loose connection can throw things off. It could also be the sensor failing after all those kilometers.

Thanks for the quick reply. Could you say which wiring you checked? Also, did the diagnostic scans point to the oxygen sensor, or were there other error codes?

Yeah, the scan pointed to the oxygen sensor, but the garage said it was likely the sensor connection. They wanted 95€ to replace it. I'd suggest a workshop, since the air-fuel ratio is important. They have the tools to find the issue.

Thanks. I'll get a mechanic to examine the oxygen sensor and wiring. Replacing the sensor fixed the error, and the fuel consumption is back to normal. Thanks again!
