Default Help please! 3.0 throwing codes...

My 2014 Q5 3.0 has 83,000 miles on it. Over the past few weeks it has intermitently started running rough and throwing codes for the primary oxygen sensors on both sides (P2237 and P2240). I’m surprised that both sensors would fail at the same time. Also, it seems to get worse when the gas tank is nearing empty.

I’ve googled and search all of the forums I can find with no luck. Any ideas what might be causing my Q5’s issues?

83,000 miles is not an unreasonable life expectancy. The other 2 should probably be replaced also. You may be able to save some $$ over the dealer if you have an independent shop you use.

Maybe your catalytic converter is clogged? Check wires on both sensors, take sensors out and check the color.
