dubweiser 0 Posted February 28, 2005 yeah mate cud be the lambda.I had no end of probs with my car running like crap,misfiring,not revving properly,drinking fuel etc and after an age of replacing plugs,leads,dizzy cap,fuel filter etc i got it plugged into a machine and it came up straight away with the lambda being at fault.Got it replced and seems to run ok now.But get it checked first cos it could be a costly purchase if its not that.

dubweiser 0 Posted February 28, 2005 Also i just thought on...i dont htimk a vagcom is any good to diagnose stuff on the 2litre 16v.I think it only can read certain stuff on this engine compared with other models(could anyone verify this for me please???).The machine i got used on mine wasnt a vagcom so the fault showed up straight away.
