I need help with p0133 code and readyness emissons

[dubbydoo241]

i have a 2004 VW GTI 1.8T. the light on for i beleve code is P0133 it says o2 sensor slow response BANK 1 SENSOR 1...now i got a sensor from advanced auto parts store and gave me wrong one and i think that cause the one they gave me has the same plug as the one thats in the cat and they say the gave me the upstream sensor... can anyone help me with which sensor i need is it the one b4 or after the cat and is it call up or downstream?

i been trying get inpsected and i have 6-8 readyness codes complete
and now for the readyness monitors : secondary air and catalyst...ive drove the care around and put about 500 miles on it and they both still dont have check next too them...what does this mean? kid that is doing inspection says i need 7-8 cleared...


thank you for taking your time out to read this and i hope that somone can give me some light on this on this probem i am having

Sensor 1 is the upstream oxygen sensor b4 the cat. Sensor 2 would be the downstream o2 sensor after the cat

To help with the secondary air monotor, try starting the car up in the morning and letting it idle for 45-60 seconds b4 you drive to allow the air injection to do its thing. Then drive like normal and look for a check. Catalyst monitor is usually a good 20 minute cruise on the freeway to clear that one. But youll need good funtioning o2 sensors b4 you do that.

okay now is that upstream or downstream sensor? thats what the guys at advanced auto are asking me

oh sorry didnt see you said upstream...but if that is the upstream one and they say they gave me right one what are the chances that my sensors are mixed up like there swithed? like the sensor on the downpipe on the plug is oval and plug on the car has somekind of lil box on it aswell

Sorry i re edited my post to help you out

The upstream and downstream usually have different color connectors and different shapes. Its more likely the auto parts store either have the part cataloged wrong or the part got switched inside the box
