Post by: dwood on 23 June 2007, 18:49: hi i need some help
after running my vag-com today after very poor idle ive came up with the fault
oxygen (lambda) sensor malfuntion in circuit fault code 16514
mixture adaptation adaptation limit (add) exceeded fault code 00561
can you let me know if the adaptation mxture limit is becuase of the lambda sensor failing or is it somthing else

IIRC, new ones from Pug cost other peeps roughly Ã‚£100. Have never enquired about a Mk4 one, sorry.

How uncanny!!! :o Just done a search on one of my engine codes & this thread came up! :D

These are 2 out of the 3 codes that I've got at the moment! :(

Plus, also got a nasty rattle from the manifold/downpipe area. :cry:

Definitely a lambda sensor, then? It's just that I've got a rather unnerving rattle (esp. under load) coming from the manifold area. :(

Can't jack it up ATM as the shed keys are at the future mother-in-laws' thanks to the missus! :D

Title: Re: lambda oxygen sensor golf turbo
Post by: Ivor Mk4 Turbo on 19 August 2009, 22:34: Yes - Anon. S/H sports cat. That was my first thought followed by Manifold, TBH. :lipsrsealed:

Cheers, Wazzer. :afro:

I should possibly/maybe have it in a box somewhere, as the Blueflame cat-back was on with the standard cat for about 2 years. :)

Yeah, that'd be great if you're sure Nick & everyone wouldn't mind. :afro:

There's definitely a strong smell of petrol coming out of the area in question.
