Summary of the thread
A 2020 Seat Leon with a hybrid engine exhibited a check engine light and higher fuel consumption, linked to an oxygen sensor heater error. The issue was suspected to be a defective cable or plug connection. After seeking advice, it was suggested to conduct sensor testing to check the voltage and resistance of the heater element. Upon professional diagnosis, a defective cable connection to the oxygen sensor was confirmed and repaired, resolving the issue.

Sensor testing? What does that involve? And how did you eventually fix your Insignia?

Sensor testing involves checking the voltage and resistance of the heater element. I didn't do it myself, honestly. The garage diagnosed it. They confirmed it was the heater element, likely a broken wire. I'd recommend getting it properly diagnosed at a workshop. It's probably something similar.

Took it to the workshop, and you were spot on! Defective cable connection to the oxygen sensor. They replaced the cable and plug, cleared the error, and the check engine light is gone. Air-fuel ratio seems back to normal too. Cost me 95€. Thanks for the help!

Sounds familiar. I had a similar issue with my Vauxhall Insignia. The check engine light kept coming on. Turned out to be the oxygen sensor heater element. Have you tried sensor testing?
