Run diagnostics and see what the ECU has to say about it.

yes definitely will take time to recalibrate. I would not trust new from ebay??? I got mine from a parts store and although it cost $80 it works great and a huge economy improvement

i replaced mine and my fuel econ went from 22 to 16 but i do alot of short drives to work then home so the car doesnt get time to get out of warm up mode.

it would take at least 100km before u get a true average of ur economy. u might also want to reset the ECU so it can relearn but i dont think its necessary. but yeah once u drove 100km and ur fuel eco is still 22L/100km then i think ur old oxy sensor wasnt broken.
phong =P~

You think that's bad I'm running on LPG on my series 2 EL XR8 opt 20, filled up today after doing 150 km of city driving and worked out that I had used 39 litres/100
 . and no that's not a misprint. anyone have any advice to offer. Would desperately like to work out what is causing my high fuel consumption.

yeh, dont judge your fuel economy after 10km's..
reset it all take it to the limiter first drive and see how long it takes to come back down

Agree, 10km isn't enough to get all back on track. Give it a while and you should see it come down.

Should the computer be reset?
