Chevrolet Cruze 1.6 petrol Lambda issue

[Blenheim Car Sales 111]

so i have a  63 plate Cruze 1.6 petrol and it has the fault codes for a  O2 sensor, my garage changes it for there normal motor factor part and it comes back on after around 10 min of driving, They change it again for a Bosch part and same thing clears codes but comes back on after a short drive, Takes it to my Auto electrician and he confirms all is good, no issues wiring is not the cause of my issue, He thinks it may need a software update or something that a  dealer diag tool to tell the car it has had the  O2 sensor changed, He mentioned that it has a  Vauxhall part number on the ECU

 

So my question is there a  Chevrolet specialist anyone can recommend or would you chance your  Cruze with the Vauxhall ECU with the Vauxhall main dealer see if they can resolve, I am stuck car is sold

Hilarious, comes up P0138 O2 sensor Circuit Hi Voltage Bank 1 Sensor 2....................and P0036 HO2S Heater control Circuit Bank 1 Sensor 2

I beliveve its the  one under the car rather than the one on the manifold  thats visible  with bonnet open, They changed the one under the car

Time to check the wiring again then. It’s not rocket science on this engine. The ECU is in the engine bay, a “decent” sparky should be able to test it. 
 

I had a Astra with similar codes a long time ago that needed an ECU. I can recommend a good supplier of a plug and play ecu should it need one.

Thats the reason i am asking here, I have had 2 Lambda sensors ( assumed working as they are new) and had tested the wiring for the O2 sensors tested by a  specialist in Car electrics and both are fully working, My auto electrician said it may be a ECU but that is Not something i want to hear,

God knows about Chevy’s finest but I very rarely get sensor issues so when I do I just accept the main dealer parts prices. At least you know the sensor’s parameters are correct.

I’ve never had an ECU issue on any car but my mechanic, the local Vx specialist & a Vx trader all tell me Vx ECUs are common failings.

Check the voltage and live data from the sensors via diagnostic 

[Blenheim Car Sales 111]

Mark.......................  words of wisdom, If thats not to spec then i have found my issue, I will get this done and see what it comes out at,

Has live data actually been checked or is your garage just playing parts darts? And 02 sensor fault code can relate to a lot of other things. Cat could be knackered for a start.

...i've got a few kicking around to back their claims up!

if it does get to ECU is it a "virgin" only new unit or would matching exact part number  used be a fix ??

Speak to Andrew at ECUstogo. He knows all about these ECUs.
