Astra twintop pedal test code

phatty22

Hi all,
Read a few threads about this. So I did the pedal test after my car 1.8 petrol twintop (57 plate) gave a yellow Engine management indicator (is that the ones that looks like a circuit board...im such a noob with cars). From what I could make out the code was? 0136. I have two questions, obviously what does this code mean. And secondly does anyone know a reasonable garage
In the teesside area. So hard to find as good honest garage these days. All advice really and gratefully accepted. :beer:

Googling the code suggests an o2 sensor, specifically o2 sensor 2 bank 1, not sure if its the one before or after the cat - have a google around to check.

Not expensive and not hard to fit (i think)

Get a genuine Bosch one seems to be the general advice.

Let's hope so, once I find a good garage :j

Any mechanic could fit one. In fact its probably a DIY job if you're feeling inclined.

Why is it always assumed that when a sensor brings up a fault code it is the sensor that is faulty? Don't the sensors ever do their job & actually sense something wrong?
