Engine light on and cruise light flashing. Also cruise control isn't working.

I've been told by a Subaru mechanic that both these symptoms are likely caused by a failed front O2 sensor.

Issue has been occuring for the past month, it worked again by itself for a week but problem came back.

Anyone know what part # for the O2 sensor and cheapest place to buy genuine? Mechanic said he could source one for about $380.

Any chance I could get this working without spending $380? Thinking of selling the car..

Thanks for any advice, have a great weekend! :)

Okay
That VIN number is for an MY06 model
JF2: MPV, FHI made
S: FORESTER
G: Wagon
9: 2.5L AWD
K: RHD (Right-hand drive)
K: SOHC MPI Full-time AWD 5-speed MT Dual range
4: Full-time AWD Dual range
6: 2006MY
G: FHI (Gunma)
Serial number

It might be a 2005 build MY2006 model

This might help you get the correct O2 sensor

(sorry, just notice your thread said MY06. You have got 2005 listed in your profile)

Have a look at the Europe forum where this has been covered in some depth - sorry I can't find the main thread at the moment. Dare say if you post there someone will quickly refer you
