A O2 sensors generally last only 30K to 60K?  Then why Vanagon(88+) and EV
have maintenance interval of 90K?   BTW, I thought emission warranty used
to be 5yr./50K.  Has the Federal law changed?

  The problems started at 33,000 miles.  the rear (good news... it has two)
  O2 sensor went out.  the emissions warrenty covers the sensor for
  2yr/24,000miles.  I complained and the dealer paid labor and VW paid for
  the part.  However, this part should have lasted for 90,000+ miles.
Total
  cost of repair was $500.

gernerally around 30k to 60k.  Ever since OBD 2 came out, wich is required
