AlgarveVR6 0 Posted March 11, 2008 Check that the sensor is not fouling the heat sheild stuff and not shorting. You will get lousy fuel consumption too if it is. Worth a look at the wires to make sure he hasn't twisted them to death and pulled 'em off Dic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flusted 0 Posted March 12, 2008 if its a g60 you can tape the WOT switch close so the ecu ignores lambda Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cheesey 0 Posted March 12, 2008 thanks for that ive just been to see about a new lambda at vw they say it should be a 5 wire plug but ive only got 4 the cars a 91 with cat the cat been removed also its got a second hand ecu on it would that make a difference or are they the same do you have to reset the ecu if you put a new sensor in if so HOW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted March 12, 2008 I think it's safe to say the exhaust place has successfully broken your Lambda... Have a look here for parts info - viewtopic.php?f=15&t=64686&p=768340&hilit=g60+and+lambda#p768340 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
