    Is that the only code showing up? My car which has the same engine was showing that code and one for the rear o2 sensor, changed it and deleted the code and it never came back

    Look for all the codes that show up, then post them in here so people can get a better idea of the problem

    £5 says you have a cracked or leaking exhaust manifold, which is sucking O2 in.

    Youve just answered your own question, change the mani then delete the codes, no good deleting the codes if you havent fixed the problem
