I have trust issues to begin with but I learned a long time ago, nobody is going to put as much care into my car as myself so I really try to do as much as possible myself for all the reasons you described...and to think you paid good money for that service, its a slap in the face but buyer beware (at a dealership no less!).
This thread feels like a great place to follow up with a similar issue I have been having that I am pretty sure is a wiring issue on my front 02 sensor. Code is 2725 - Lambda sensor electric diagnostic VKAT bank 2. I have replaced the sensor with a brand new one and it comes back immediately. Previous owner had a wire repair listed in his service history.
I'm going to be doing a similar diagnostic attempt as OP (with my lift  ) thanks to the images posted but I really need to get my hands on ISTA...I've got Pro Tool and INPA but I'm really missing out I think. |
ISTA can be grabbed from a multitude of online sellers. I can’t remember where I got mine. I recall it was like $20-$30 bucks. Then you’ll need a KD-can cable for like $30. If you need help testing your O2 cables PM me your cell # and I’d be happy to help. Basically just remove the cowel to get to the ECU and have a multimeter. The ECU is just below the passenger windshield by the passenger hood shock. A simple continuity test is all you need to do. Looking back in retrospect I should have just started with this once I swapped my O2’s and nothing changed. You could start by swapping O2 sensors from left to right and then see if the error changes. If it does then all ya need is a new O2.
Edit:I missed that you tried a new O2 already. Next step would be a continuity test at this point.
