I see my second link doesn't work 'cos google drive seem intent on showing html files as text.  If Google drive wasn't free would anyone use it?  Here is my second link as text (sorry it's so long).  NB you may find my other 2 links more helpful let me know if you can't read them as well:

I forgot to mention I checked under the car, the cables and clamps are well clear of the O2 sensors and cables, the cables seem fine and at least the upstream one is connected properly.  The downstream one disappears into the car but looks ok.  Both sensors looked to be seated in the cat OK, I didn't check that though.  Will have to go under again with a spanner.

Also I haven't attempted to clear the codes as it is evidence for the cat warranty.  Only one, P0131, was saved in the freeze frame data

Hi guys,

Hope you are all good.

My question may have been replied(at least partly) already. If so, sorry for repeat one.
My car is Honda,Jazz,2003,1.4,Petrol.
It's cat has been stolen 2 weeks ago. I spent some time with insurance and ended up in repairing it by paying myself.

I went under the car to see the damage and ordered below from Euro Car Parts;
a) Cat Converter, https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/react-catalytic-converter-724600530
b) Centre silencer as it's end has gone also, making it useless. https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/klarius-centre-silencer-704600551
c) 2 Lambda sensors, each are the same. I thought they are universal(can be used for front or rear). Later I learned the ones I bought are for rear part. I was given Part# for the front one by Euro Car Parts. It's cost is 2.5 times of the rear one.

https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/walker-lambda-sensor-710601050 --> This is the one I ordered 2 pcs.
https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/adl-blueprint-lambda-sensor-71060101J --> This is the one that was said for the front, but's cost is 2.5 of the 1st one.

https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/bosch-710770417 --> It is not clear in their websise if this one is for rear or front.

My Questions:
1) Can you please help on finding the suitable front lambda sensor in above options.(I prefer to order from the same retailer) ?
2) Should I need to order some other parts like Gasket, Rubber, Spring, Bolt ?

Sorry for long message, but I wanted to give as much detail as possible.

Have a great weekend.

A complete kit is usually the cheapest option, by the time you've bought all the bits and bobs

Front sensor on its own

You will probably also need fitting kits for the cat, and the middle to rear box joint.

Sorry to hear this is still going on even in the lockdown!
As an aside, with my original Honda cat from when the car was built (2005 1.4 SE) with mixed around town and a 7 mile journey on country roads to work and back, the car returned a steady 46-47 MPG.

 Since the cat was stolen, and now fitted with a £65 pattern Cat and two sensors from a local car parts supplier I now am getting between 49-55 MPG over the same identical journey pattern as before...Strange eh? maybe this one will pay for itself :)

Are you sure there's anything in the cat?  ;D

I don't know if it helps, but my Jazz has just had its 4th Lambda sensor fitted (under warranty) by the garage that replaced the stolen CAT & sensors (I have used them for about 20 years, and they have a good local reputation).
Mine seem to go after longer motorway journeys, and I'm no boy racer, 75mph max and the revs don't get much past 3000, bringing the engine warning light on and giving the P0131 & P0132 codes. If the car isn't used for a few days, the warning light goes off, and only P0131 remains, but as soon as it gets another motorway run, the light is on and P0132 is back.

Talking to some other garages and exhaust places, it seems that universal fitting sensors are more prone to this, some places said that is why they only use direct fit ones. I have fed this back to my garage, and they have said that they use direct fit, but if this one goes, they will start trying other sensors.

There was a piece on BBC South East regarding catalytic converter thefts. A woman had hers stolen from her 2nd gen CRV, even caught the thevies on her dashcam. Sussex Police claimed they could'nt take any action as the perpetrator could argue they were retrieving something that had rolled under the car. After the BBC got involved the Police took action and made an arrest.

My CAT was stolen (broad daylight. Two different neighbours got the whole thing on camera) on 11.09.20. Guessing I’m not allowed to swear on this forum!

Can anyone tell me if they have bought the ‘kit’ from eBay (noted below) and if it’s worked Ok? Probes work fine etc?

Thank you.

1) Can you please help on finding the suitable front lambda sensor in above options.(I prefer to order from the same retailer) ?
2) Should I need to order some other parts like Gasket, Rubber, Spring, Bolt ?

Hey Jazzers,

So sorry to hear everyones stories on here about cats being stolen. Unfortunately I had mine stolen last night and I only bought my Jazz few days ago 😔

I was thinking can I get an exhaust without the cat that will still work if so how will it be connected to the sensors or would I have to get an exhaust specially made and also for it to pass the MOT?

Looking forward to hearing from you guys.

Thank you

JF

Hi jazzfunk,

Sorry to hear of your car having its cat stolen.

Your cars ECU will need to receive readings from an O2 sensor. If not, the EML will come on, engine light, and that will be an mot fail. I would also expect the emissions to be too high without a cat, so also an MOT fail. In the world of diesel cars, the emission equipment has to be fitted to pass an MOT, and I believe the same is true of petrol cars.

I understand most people, and it's cerainly what I would do if the cat was stolen from my Jazz, is replace the parts with the cheapest aftermarket items they can find.

Hope that helps.

PS: Do use the search facility on this forum to find out lots of Jazz related info.  ;)

Hi there, the same thing happened to me around 8 months ago, same car as the original poster with engine L13A1 (auto), but they do not seem to have come back with any outcome.

At the time I fitted a cheap Cat and some cheap (£50 for two) sensors but they never worked, the EML light is always on). I'm getting desperate now that the MOT is on the way very soon, I need some sensors that work. It seems to be very hard to find the correct ones as I do not have the correct OEM Honda part numbers.

I saw these two on ebay, states they are compatible.

Any advice, or should I just bite the bullet.

Any advice, or should I just bite the bullet.

I would be wary, I had a quick flick through the listing and couldn't see any mention of CVT.

The CVT (auto) sensors listed by Honda have different part numbers, and another poster had similar problems obtaining the correct aftermarket sensors - I think they ended up buying Walker branded sensors specifically for the CVT.

Here you go, I found the thread

Hi there,

Many thanks for the reply, for pointing out the automatic difference and for finding the other thread for me. I have an idea on the part numbers now.

I have had a look at the website and will give them a ring in the morning.
