Pedant in operation. They get deposits, which is surely dirt, which should be burned off in response to a signal from the ecu....? If the burn off has not occurred or not been sufficient a cleaner may help remove that dirt?

Thanks Clan. I am so not surprised that the cleaner often fails and ruins the sensor. So those cleaners are NOT a good maintence idea. Possibly useful as a desperate get home measure, if there is nothing left to lose?
