cered Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 For about two weeks straight I've been trying to source an OE/Denso Lambda sensor for my VVTI Supra. Toyota have discontinued them and Denso only seem to do the US/UK model double lambda sensors. Are there any alternatives? Driving me crazy because going by Google the only ones in existence are the ones fitted to VVTI cars -_- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cushti Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) Have you tried http://www.rockauto.com They do all years & specs but I got two jspec genuine Denso lambdas sent over from the US for £75 & it took less than 3 days to arrive (price included duty, vat & shipping - search for the 5% discount code online which is easy to find, plus choose the more expensive Fedex option for these small parts as it works out cheaper - the other options will mean that Royal Mail will handle it this end & they will shaft you with a £15 handling charge).

TuneR Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I have my old OEM one if you want, changed it because i thought it was broken and it turned out to be an exhaust gasket leak:taped:. 20+P&P, if you wanted new though i replaced mine with the Denso Oxygen Sensor DOX-0228. Im also VVTI btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did look earleir but they don't seem to list any Lmabda sensors for mkiv supras. only 3 fire mk3 ones I have my old OEM one if you want, changed it because i thought it was broken and it turned out to be an exhaust gasket leak:taped:. 20+P&P, if you wanted new though i replaced mine with the Denso Oxygen Sensor DOX-0228. Im also VVTI btw. I did look at the DOX0228 but I thought it was only suitable for the UK Supra, or is it the same fitment & spec? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I bought a VVTi 02 sensor from Whifbitz last month, following on from Toyota telling me they couldn't get them anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cered Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 I bought a VVTi 02 sensor from Whifbitz last month, following on from Toyota telling me they couldn't get them anymore. Yeah I called Paul but he said he didn't have any (He did check but discontinued by Toyota so no longer available at all I guess) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cushti Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Under the Rockauto part catalogue use the clickdown menu & select Toyota, Year, Supra, Non-Turbo or Turbo, Emission, Oxygen O2 Sensor & you should have a choice of about 10-15 different makes. Do you know the oem part number you need or the part number on current sensor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cushti Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 You're right mate, sorry. Searched everywhere & cannot locate one with that code anywhere, not even a cross-ref for an aftermarket non-oe one! Might need to find one with same no of wires & fitment (easier said than done) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might need to find one with same no of wires & fitment (easier said than done) Yeah it's a nightmar,e Denso seem to have two of them... but one for US and one for UK, four wires, same plug, look identical etc so think i'll have to give them a go. dont want to ruin my car with dodgy emissions... that adn £6 to go 10miles aint fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 You can buy them off eBay, 2nd hand though.. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/GENUINE-Toyota-Part-Number-89465-19725-Oxygen-Sensor-O2-/171890709016?hash=item28057c1218 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuneR Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I did look at the DOX0228 but I thought it was only suitable for the UK Supra, or is it the same fitment & spec? Works fine on mine, iirc it went through an NCT (Irish MOT) since and it passed fine (low/high and lambda). I can confirm later when i go home if you'd like?

Allrighty, must be the exact same part just different part numbers for whatever reason. Will be getting on.
