WAGNER DP O2 fitment issue!
Just finished up my Wagner DP install and went to go plug in my O2 sensors. The after cat O2 wire is like an inch too short. I know for sure they are installed in the right place. Anyone else run into this problem? Just leaving it unplugged for now so I can drive it.
Any tips would be great! |

Doesn't really seem like a solution to me, i would be asking for a full refund or replacement. |

According to their website it is a guaranteed fit. Doesn't seem like that to me and for the price of the catted Wagner it should be. Guess I'll be using a different brand from now on. |

In any case that wouldn't sit well with me and although the effort sucks, i would remove and get a refund to buy a different one, especially if you are not going to pass emissions with it. |

"stretch the harness"??? And what exactly would that process be? Get a big 'ol handful of harness, place both feet on the chassis and pull 'till it's long enough?

Trace it back to the firewall and see if I can pull some through the firewall. Word for word what Wagner said to me.

Um, what? The O2 harness does not go through the firewall... It plugs in up top, goes through a few clips, then goes straight down to the O2 sensor itself screwed into the DP. Which I'm sure you know as it sounds like you did the install yourself as I did with my DP lol...

Somebody at Wagner was pulling your leg. Call them back and ask them to send you a wire stretcher. Tell them since it's a BMW you need a Metric one.
Seriously, if the harness is not long enough and you don't want to take the down pipe back off, extending the harness is the answer. If it's done properly it won't be a problem.

The fact that the part is guaranteed fitment and it doesn't fit. I wouldn't run one, even if it was for the secondary O2 and would have zero impact on performance. It would be different if you went into it knowing you would need a spacer (e.g., VRSF). I would never do that either though, lol.

I had almost the same issue with Wagner Catted on N55 PWG - the hole for the second o2 sensor isn't made at the right place and it hits the body. I had to make some modifications to my exhaust system and OEM holders. I wouldn't recommend the product or the customer support none the less.

I've driven the car over 1000 miles and just got my first CEL yesterday for cat efficiency. If it stays like that I should still be able to pass emissions. I am tuned and could shut off cat efficiency if I want. Overall can't recommend the product as much as I'd like to. |

Having said that you MIGHT be able to reset everything and drive the car around gently until all monitors are in ready state and then do the emissions test, since it is usually doing hard pulls that triggers the CEL for DPs that arent quite efficient enough. |

Which car is this for? And is this catted or catless?
This is BMW DIY Guys guide on his F32 435i, and you can see his catted DP at the 15:41 mark; and from what I can tell, it looks fairly similar to yours. He also makes note of the tight fit at around the 24:15 mark, but says it does fit. That said, I'm not sure who's affected by this and who isn't... I also just received my Wagner catted DP today, and am wondering if I should go through the trouble of finding out. Video: |
