Lambda Sensor
« on: 18 June 2012, 12:42 »
Do the 1.8T just have the 1x lambda sensor  :undecided:
I have been needing to do mine for a while and am getting everything else ready for the FMIC and K03s  :evil:

Cant remember the code it was picked up while getting it remapped and recommended to be changed and that was ages ago, car gets used about 100 miles a month if that so not that rushed for doing it

I have a AUQ and it has pre and post cat lambda sensors, easy to check have a look underneath floor just about in line with the seat and you will see a black box, see if you one or 2 wires going into it.

If you have 2 lambda are the front and back not the same fitting/type

Do you have the part numbers then or where you got them?
I only think that one of them is gone, so other than process of elimination findout out which has gone  :sad:
