Hello.

I have need of one of these. Anyone know the thread size please or even better, a link to a supplier? I Know the socket is 21mm, but is the thread needed 18mm?

Get old lambda sensor, put it in, chop wire off. Done.

Tried that, trouble is the wrap on my downpipe makes tightening the shitty odd shaped socket very hard in the restrictive place...have tried that twice now and each time it has worked loose as I cant tighten it enough.

I have found an alternative!!!

I think...

Be easier to tighten as well as it has a torx slot on top yey. I'll pop some firegum in there with it :)

Hi, yes 18mm. I was gonna say they're readily available on Ebay but the one in the link will do fine.

No need to use fire gum, after a few months you'll have trouble unscrewing it as it is!

Goody! If it is a torx in the bolt it is bound to round off like all the others if I try and remove it lol.

I think you need M18x 1mm. Avoid more common M18x1.5mm.

It'll be fine, I ordered a m18 x 1.5 lambda boss for my old turbo downpipe and it was fine.

Yeah, I welded it on my downpipe on my AX, only to find out that wideband lambda has 1mm thread spacing... :roll: :rant:
