Broken Oxygen sensor
Ok i been working on my car and found the wire in the back of the oxygen sensor hanging on by a couple wires so i gave it a light tug and ended up pulling it completely of is it worth fixing or just replace

Replace it. Too hard to solder it well enough.

No no no, get the Bosch O2 sensor P/N 11027. It is the same exact sensor just without a connector. So use the old connector (that is probably still in the car) and save yourself an arm and a leg.

I don't know if you have Walker sensors down under, but if you do, their P/N 250-21000 will also work the same way as the Bosch 11027 and normally is only $20 USD.
