I found out i have a dead lambda sensor, will this give me considerably worse fuel economy than usual?

Laine!!

Got the same problem on mine - mine isnt dead - but not working as it should , currently getting about 250miles for £32 of petrol - but thats taking it reasonably easy and motorway/A road mileage.

Am planning on getting this sorted asap.

Also, i can smell the fuel on more than one occasion.

on other post by nick hill. only use a bosch replacement

According to Nick Hill, My lambda sensor only playing up wen idling - wen throttle pressed its working....IIRC

Hence the decent Mileage.

Duly noted bout the Bosch Replacement.

NGK do a direct replacement to and works perfect on mine!

could do with another for the 16v tbh, its abit slow!
