get it on an a 5 gas analyser. or find a lambda sensor testing tool.

otherwise, just change it.

have u tried cleaning iscv?

[BRUN]

not yet, i think ill do it on Monday as im off work then and ill be at the g/fs a few hours doing nothing

[VIPERONE]

from what you've said it is pointing to a lambda fault

[BRUN]

why would it not do it all the time ?

[Nick Hill]

Brun buy a Bosch lambda sensor. Had a few cars in with NGK sensors that have the prob you got.

[BRUN]

thanks Nick, i remember talking to you about this last year

i kind of took your advice by not buying a universal one but i didnt do what you said and buy the bosch, i got the NGK as it was cheaper and it was the only direct replacement i could get hold of at the time

i have 2 Bosch part numbers for the lambda can you confirm which is the correct one

One is the original fat type, other is newer compact version.
Both do the same job but the original heatshield will only fit on the fat one.

i dont have a heatshield on mine

what could cause one to fail early, the NGK one fitted now has been fine until the cold damp weather came

the car isnt overfuelling, from looking at the plugs it isnt anyway (NGK Iridiums currently fitted)

i use V-Power or Tesco 99 fuel and use a fuel cleaner every 6000 miles, usually Forte Gas Treatment
