O2 Sensor location on 14 Veloster Turbo

The connectors are black for the upstream and gray for the downstream
The both sensors are in the downpipe.

When you removed it, did you have to go under or is it possible to remove from the top? Ive read somewhere they said its possible from up top.
However, looking at the images it seems impossible.
I had to pull the manifold off the car to remove the 2 sensors.
There's really not enough room while being under the car or over the top of the car to get the leverage needed.
I also uses a dab of high temperature copper based anti-seize compound on the threads when reinstalling it for easier removal in the future.
Just make sure you put it on the threads only and the anti-seize doesn't get in the sensor element.
Hope that helps. 🙏🏽👍

Thanks for the tip. Probably wont be taking off the manifold. I may cause more trouble for myself than needed.
At this point i wish i gad access to a lift.

Most likely. I dont think ill attempt removing the manifold.
My sensors been replaced before by a mechanic, he said it looks burnt but after reviewing threads it seems like its just easily covered in carbon. Im trying to save myself from spending if i can clean them instead of switching them, unless they are really done for.
This might make it easier to take out, hopefully he didnt tighten them like oem did.
I read online that acetone can be used and someone recommended dipping it in CLR. Any experience in using any household products to clean o2 sensor?

It threw a p1033 cel. I heard it could it is due to the carbon build up on the sensor
Mine had a bit of carbon on the tip when I removed it for the header install so I broke out the used toothbrush and proceeded to clean it up.
The carbon came off nicely and looked nice and clean when I reinstalled it and all is good in the world of internal combustion.
No check engine lights and the car runs good.
Keep in mind I've only got 34,000 miles on the car so the carbon build up won't be as bad as one with more miles.
They'll clean up nicely with a tooth brush and if further cleaning is needed a fine wire brass brush will do also.
Ive never used chemical sprays on an O2 sensor so if you do I've no clue what the results would be.
Good luck. 👍
They're within a foot apart but different part numbers.

Would replacing the O2 sensors help with bettering a Veloster's performance? My '16 VT keeps 'shutting down' when im idling at a red light, or randomly when making a turn after a brief stop.
if any of you fellow Veloster owners could help pinpoint this problem, it would be much appreciated!
(For context: I've already replaced the car battery as well as my alternator; both of which were the supposed cause for my random shut-offs)
