Honda Civic fault
I recently bought a 2006 Honda Civic CTDI 2.2. A couple of days ago I had the engine warning light flashing so I took it to my local garage to get it diagnosed and got the report as a faulty oxygen sensor.
When I contacted my local Honda showroom to buy the part, I was told that this model does not have an oxygen sensor and they suggested that I might have to replace the entire diesel particle filter, which would cost around £700. I sought further advice from a couple of reputed garages who very confidently said that this car does have an oxygen sensor, also known as lambda sensor and I just need to replace it which would cost me between £60 - £120.
Could you please advise on what I need to do. I am totally confused.

A Honda 2.2iCTDI engine does not have a particulate filter. The 2.2iDTEC engine from 2010 does. So you need to go to people who know what they are doing and tell you the truth.
