kongo127 0 Posted September 25, 2004 My G60 has exactly the same sympthoms! :shock: It´s the Lambda Probe! No doubt! The probe is original from Bosch and it has only 6 months! Can you believe this? Lucky me it´s under it´s 2 years guaranty! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted September 25, 2004 kongo127, 1.8 16Vs don't have a lambda sensor... :roll: There's an allen bolt inside the long tube on the metering head of the K-jet injection system which alters fuelling... you'll need a long allen key (can't remember the size, sorry) and an exhaust gas analyser to set it up 100% correctly... there are instructions on here (I think they were posted by H100VW) on how to set it up without the analyser, but I've never done it that way...

h100vw 0 Posted September 26, 2004 It's a 3mm allen key you need. I was talking about putting extra fuel in by adjusting more stuff than the usual. There isn't a reliable way of adjusting teh mixture without a gas analyser. You could check the plugs maybe but that is olde worlde. Gavin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scruffythefirst 0 Posted September 26, 2004 Dont run it too long when its badly rich, you'll need a new set of rings and a rehone sharpish if you do :cry: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aide 0 Posted September 29, 2004 Yup 3mm allan key, run engine to warm, disconnect crankcase breather and red spade connector at coil - adjust idle to 1000rpm with idle screw. REST the allan key in hole at metering head do not lift or press - anticlockwise weakens. Without analyser not 100% accurate but good enought for quick fix, obviously if cuts out then too weak :D I'd go to garage for the 10mins it takes em.
