Kevin Bacon 5 Posted February 23, 2006 Depends if yours is a 3 or 4 wire one. Need to look at your existing one first.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevemac 0 Posted February 23, 2006 I think there's a mistake on their website - the OE type one is cheaper than the universal version !! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
task 0 Posted February 23, 2006 Depends if yours is a 3 or 4 wire one. Need to look at your existing one first.... I have a 4 wire connector with no ground attached to the chassis.. but there is a brown wire that is sticking out from the rear engine mount that has been cut.. so I figure that at some point the sensor was changed by a previous owner with the wrong one installed ?? I think I'll just get the 3 wire bosch universal lambda sen. and rewire it and hope it will work fine :| Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

task 0 Posted February 23, 2006 which wire should I connect to the chassis ground? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevemac 0 Posted February 24, 2006 task, Your's may be an earler version than mine - my sensor had 4 wires at the plug (2 white, 1 black, 1 brown) - 3 wires to the probe (2 white, 1 black) & 1 short wire to earth (brown). The wiring harness on the car had 4 wires - all going into the 4 way plug. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mansell 0 Posted March 3, 2006 Looking to get a replacement Bosch sensor for my rado vr and the best price I've found is £74.03 - is this a pretty good price? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevemac 0 Posted March 5, 2006 I'd say that's about the "going rate" for a Bosch probe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mansell 0 Posted March 5, 2006 Cheers, I'll go with that then. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mansell 0 Posted March 30, 2006 Got it from Just Lambda chap http://www.justlambda.co.uk/ They do both Bosch and NTK. The NTK ones are cheaper but I have a feeling that the Bosch will last longer as they are OE so prob. worth the extra. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmbisoniK 0 Posted March 30, 2006 Excellent - thanks for that !..BTW welcome to the ever expanding Newport corrado club :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mansell 0 Posted March 31, 2006 Cheers for that, think I've only spotted one raddo in Newport since I got here but seen quite a few in Cardiff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trig 0 Posted March 31, 2006 Anyone looking for a VR lambda, I will (hopefully) have a VAG one for sale in a week with less than 2k miles on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmbisoniK 0 Posted March 31, 2006 Cheers for that, think I've only spotted one raddo in Newport since I got here but seen quite a few in Cardiff. There's @ least 6 in central Newport currently,3 of which are friends - an N plate satin silver grant motorsport 2.016v (CF user name squirrel) an N plate ice violet vr6 a J plate aqua blue g60 a white valver,another J plate aqua blue g60 & a midnight blue not sure what it is but always round the back of the train station & mine. there's a few more besides those out malpas way,another highly modified g60 that never sees the light of day & an aqua blue vr6 with a ridiculously loud prospeed exhaust...i think that's being sold on though...
