2000 S-Type, 37,890. I had my car scanned at my friendly neighborhood autozone and the scanner came up with a PO133 code. Autozone checked it and said this was an 02 sensor circuit slow response (bank 1 / sensor 1). Can anyone tell me if this is an expensive part? Can I do it myself? and where is it located? thanks. :wink:

Sorry about the late response but I am new to this forum. On V8 engines there are a total of 4 oxygen sensors. Bank 1 position 1 is the passenger side of the engine with the oxygen sensor closest to the front of the vehicle. If you stand in front of your vehicle, Bank 1 is to your left (passenger side) and Bank 2 is to your right (driver's side). Autozone and Murray's Discount auto sells good quality Bosch oxygen sensors for about $45 each. However be weary about the codes that the OBD II computers register as these are just basic generic codes and may not pinpoint the specific problem.

Suggested Repair

Bank 1 sensor 1 is the oxygen sensor closest to the engine on the passenger side, toward the front of the vehicle. A quality Bosch sensor is about $45, but a slow-response code can also indicate catalytic converter failure, which may be covered by the 8-year/80,000-mile emissions warranty.

Conversation Summary

A 2000 Jaguar S-Type showed code P0133, an oxygen sensor circuit slow response for bank 1 sensor 1. Replies identified sensor 1 as the sensor closest to the engine and bank 1 as the passenger side toward the front. A Bosch sensor was estimated at about $45, with a caution that generic OBD-II codes may not isolate the fault. A slow sensor response was also linked to possible catalytic converter failure, potentially covered by the emissions warranty.
