Hi All,
Firstly; the car is a Seat Leon 1.6s with the 16v AZD engine. I had some troubles with a failed flexible section in the exhaust so replaced the downpipe and cat-converter in January this year. Shortly after one of the timing belt tensioners failed so a new timing belt and tensioners was fitted.
The car's been driving fine ever since, no drop in fuel economy and passed the emissions on the MOT no problem at all.
But I've got a couple of fault codes coming up on my reader that don't seem to be causing any trouble but are tripping the CEL so I want them sorted out if possible!
17604 - Oxygen (Lambda) Sensor Heater Circuit: B1 S1: Electrical Malfunction
17591 - Linear O2 Sensor / Reference Voltage Short to B+
I've had a go at clearing them but they come back straight away so it's obviously a persistant fault.
I'm thinking that I'm going to have to replace the lambda sensor (behind the cat)? Any ideas other than this as I'm a bit reluctant to shell out £120 odd for the new sensor
