oxygen sensors last say, 5 to 10 years. 60,000 miles is getting up there. by 80,000 miles they're well used up. Every last vanagon there is that has an 02 sensor should be on its 2nd, 3rd, or 4th one. ( like vanagon engines - lol )

They're very easy to check for output with a digital volt meter too. They're either OK, lazy, or dead. Scott turbovans.com
