1988 3.2 carrera O2 sensor, none fitted ?
 
Hi all I am new to posting a thread but must admit to finding a wealth of information on this site !

As the title says, I have a 1988 3.2 carrera, euro, uk spec.
This car has no O2 sensor, with no sign of it ever having one, there is no cat on this car just a second exhaust/muffler.
Exhaust was original, and now swaped for new, with no sign of a sensor blanking plug.
I have the Bentley manual as well as others but all suggest a O2 sensor should be present.
Please correct me if I am wrong, even the new exhaust has the sensor hole !

Thanks
Brett

Stock euro 911's had no O2 sensor. Enjoy your extra HP

My German friend has an '86 car that is equipped the same way.
He told me the cars could be ordered that way, but you have to pay additional fees each year because the car causes more pollution.

Welcome to the madness Brett :)

How about some pics of your car.

Thanks for all replies so far, looking in the currently empty engine bay, there is a empty socket currenty with a original looking bung installed in aprox the right position ?

Having also just installed a new clutch, the pelican technical how-to article, mentions to check for a two wire upgrade, what is it ?

I will get some photos up soon, currently the car is covered, and only the engine and transmission is being worked on. So photos of that to follow first !

Brett
