WTD: Lambda sensor

[fatboyfat7]

My 'universal' one clearly isnt up to scratch so im looking for a OE one that will pass an NCT. Pricey enough new so want to avoid that if possible...

Not sure this is your fault then - I replaced my Lambda with a Universal from eBay and she sailed through NCT afterwards.

Not sure OEM is going to do any better for you - next port of call for you should be CAT and/or Engine Coolant Temp sensor methinks.

Still failed on the lambda as well though... The mechanic suggested I buy I mitsi one. I just took his word for it. Porbably start with the cat if that want ye guys think.

As long as you connected up the new Universal Lambda correctly it should work fine - has done for me and several other FTO owners. I don' think that the OEM version will make any difference - and you will only be buying another second hand one as new ones are about €300

You need to install someone else's CAT and then bring it back to mechanic for emission retest.

This is kinda turning into a split conversation between here and the topic in the Technical section so I posted a response over there. Thanks for the advice Kace too. Hopefully I'll get outa this the cheapist way possible!
