I have a 96 Q45 100K miles. I had the front O2 sensors replaced. The trouble codes I am getting are PO141, PO161, PO135, and PO155. These are showing problems for all O2 sensors. My quesion is would having bad rear O2 sensors make the front O2 sensors report a bad code? Also, where can I get the rear O2 sensors at the best price? I've seen the listed for the front but not the back.

Thanks all.

The rear O2 are out of phase with the front, a more + on the front usually is more towards lean [zero] on the rear and the converse. There is also a time lag as the catalysts does its job.

The rears usually fail first but by 100k it is time to replace all!
