My 04 Sentra 2.5 failed emissions. Check engine light was also on for a few weeks.
I took it to a local shop - they said it needs a new O2 sensor. They said it will run $270 to install an aftermarket one...i said ok...do it.
They call me back and say, well now, the catalytic converter is broken and I need to pay $1,300 for a new one. So, I went to see the car.
I saw that there is a hole on top of the Cat converter where the O2 sensor screws into. According to the shop, the O2 sensor started pulling out of the Cat Conv, making a circular hole in the Cat Converter.
So, they said they can JB weld the new O2 sensor on there, so it stays in place...since there is no way to thread in the new one.
They are charging me $75 in labor for the weld...so about $350 total for everything. My car should be ready tomorrow morning.
Question:
will JB welding this hold it for the life of the car?
is there anything I should be aware of when I go pickup my car tomorrow?
