This is probably the easiest job you could imagine. Simply unplug the old sensor and use a ring spanner to unscrew it from the exhaust. But remember to use a ring spanner and not an open ended or even worse an adjustable spanner as these sensors become very tight with the heat they have to endure.

Eric!!

ERIC!! Any idea where the plug comes to rest on a W124 cab? seems to go into the bodywork and dissapear! been pulling this wire for about an hour now (joke) but it doesn't look like I can get to it from underneath at all, is it accessed from the interior somewhere?

Please help mate.

There are several versions, and i dont have access to wis at the mo, im at home. The only thing I can say is follow the cable and then disconnect it. You may have to take some of the interior fittings out to get to it (carpets etc). Do you have the new sensor? and how long is the cable?

Yes I can see where you're going with that, I'm waiting for the sensor to be delivered today (hopefully) so I'll check.

Do you know if it is possible to cut and rejoin the wires?

cheers.

Many people and garages cut the wires and crimp, it seems to be a standard practice
