Default S70 2.5 10v Engine Management fault

I own a 1998 S70 2.5 10v from new with 50k, the car had been garaged for a few weeks and on starting the engine management light was on.

Code read carried out and informed by non-franchise dealer it was oxygen sensor; changed sensor and fault still exists, car now in a reliable/trusted garage and indictation is engine running lean, with the obvious checks for air leaks etc undertaken.
Mechanic as present checking all sensors etc. but any ideas gratefully appreciated.

Are they sure it was the oxygen sensor code?
Is this the £150 titania sensor?

I would suggest that you check the correct Bosch sensor has been fitted, not a universal one. These cars don't like anything other than the correct OEM sensor fitted.

Yes, noted. The first replacement was purchased from GSF but multi-connector was slightly different, therefore returned and correct one purchased from Volvo (£164 + vat)

Mechanic has now identified that engine is in fact running lean so investigation continues.

Thanks for response

Non-franchise garage originally stated code refered to oxygen sensor located in front of Cat. Hence replacement.

Now trusted garage/mechanic undertaking a code read out identifies same code, also has now identified that the engine is actually running lean, so investigating reason for lean burn.

Thanks for response
