Bender Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I believe its a o2 sensor which comes to 2nd cat. I found on internet stuff called Big Boy metal filler it that will do the job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Its not the O2 sensor, thats the cat overheat probe. Can be safely tied up out of the bay and the hole blanked. I doubt any sort of metal putty will be up to the job 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenslade Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 this happened to me - exactly the same. And I bought a new 2nd cat O2 sensor at great expense from Australia. Before it arrived, I posted on this forum and was put right i.e. being cat overheat sensor NOT O2 sensor. Anyway, that overheat sensor seems pretty difficult to get hold of, and I have reset the probe with metal epoxy putty. Seems OK so far but only 2 months ago and not many miles.

Becuase the probe broke of the flange. Just some metal with 2 bolt holes and one for the probe. Could get some clean metal cut it to shape and clean it up. Drill the holes and get someone to put a couple of tack welds on the probe to the new metal flange. Or use JB weld...jb will be strong enough to hold the probe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenslade Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Such a good idea - never thought of doing it that way. Thanks evinX! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
