RAV oxygen sensor problem

[sniper]

Hi, I have a question re.Rav4 post cat oxy sensor.The car is showing a fault code for a faulty oxygen sensor and has lit the 'check engine' light on dash. I have ordered a replacement Denso part (as is fitted on car) from the USA which was £53 as a pose to £162 from Toyota. My question is this,Is it ok to drive with faulty sensor and warning light on (about 350 miles per week) untill replacement arrives or can it cause further problems? Thanks

it should put the ecu in limp mode as the correct air fuel mixture setting will not be achieved.

Hi surfenstein.Would you notice much difference in limp mode as the car appears to drive as normal,it is my wifes car and she seems to think it is driving as normal?
