Cheers...

Checked the ECU relay, relay 30 in position 3 in the fusebox. It works fine. I opened it up and watched the operation.

Shake your exhaust and see if the cat is rattling. If it is, it could be partially blocking the gas exit. I had this once with a Passat. Nearly died because of it too! :shocked:

I disconnected the exhaust before the CAT. No difference, except the NOISE  :grin:

its definatly between 350-450ohms mate. check straight off the sensor, obvious it must be disconnected. if its out there is a blue plastic cap/cover on the side of it. remove this and there is a flat screw head inside, turn the screw to change the reading. easy peasy

o btw its definatly pins 1 and 3 you measure across

Between 350 and 500 ohms I believe is what you are looking for. Mine is adjusted well out of wack, approaching 800ohms, just to make the b@stard driveable. :undecided:
There are a row of relays at the top of the relay board that look as if they are 'add ons'. The one on the end to the left is the lambda probe relay. I know this because I changed mine last week.

I have meassured the sensor over pin 1-3. Its 450ohm. The ohm changes evenly when I turn the screw. I tried a few different settings on the screw, from 250 - 1000, but there are no changes to the poor running.

How do I check the function of this relay?

Been checking on the the Temp sensor. One thing is for sure, when I unplug the sensor, the engine nearly stops....
