E320 4matic
PO141 / PO161 Codes w / Check engine light

All,

My 99 E320 4matic V6 tripped these two codes. (PO141/161) As they are the postion two O2 sensors on BOTH banks I highly doubt both have failed at exacty the same time. Researching the forum yielded many different senerios, but each with an addtional code. Mine hasnt any addtional codes. One of the themes is air pump / check valve failure. Any advise on this would be helpful as I would prefer not to go on a wild goose chase.

180 now! I don't have an answer but agree that 2 O2 sensors failing at the same time is highly unlikely.

When someone posts and expects a reply in an hour and change.
sometimes it takes people time to view the post and time to reply,and the right person with the info to reply.
The term "Keep one's shirt on" is appropriate in such situations
