Hello all! I need some advice. Im am looking at a potentially very expensive repair and want to make sure that it will address the problem. I have a rough idle and it almost dies when I start it when its warm. Supposedly the O2 sensor is gone; my tech tried to "clean it" without removing it and the problems started after that. The problem is that my exhaust is so rusted that they cant get the sensors out! It will require removing the whole downpipe (which they say will cause the bolts to snap and break because of the rust) in order to heat up the pipe enouogh to remove the sensors and replace them. There is also a risk that they will need to remove the whole manifold in order to get them out, depending on the rust plus they may strip out the bolts in the crossmember causing more issues. I can get a new downpipe assy for 630 from atlantic british, they havnt quoted me on the above repair yet, but he said it will be cheaper than a new pipe. Suggestions?????
