Lambda Sensor Location

[smithsc]

Hi Guys,

My front Lambda sensor has gone, i bought a new BOSCH one from GSF and left it with my mate to fit as i've been away no he said he can only find one under the car roughly where the drivers seat is. That to me is the 2nd Lambda is that correct????

Does any one have an schematics of where the front lambda sensor as my mate couldn't find it the part no i got from GSF is 930VG1120.

Can anyone help i really want to get it done this weekend

Its at the back of the engine where the turbo sits or just below. 21/22mm spanner

have i got the right part number do you the one i have had 5 wires coming out of it. To see it i'm guessing i need to jack it up and get under the engine at the front

 

[Becks]

No you get into it at the top of the engine. I'm not sure if they have 5 wires tbh, but someone will be along shortly to confirm im sure

[smithsc]

Dude... it's the only wired in thing going into the exhaust

One pre cat (just 'inside' the bend)
One post cat - right after the cat.

it's real easy to see

 

[smithsc]

ok you say its easy to see but i really don't know what i'm looking for hence i was asking for a picture what do you mean inside the bend

 

[techie]

Without stating the obvious, what engine do you have?

If you want advice its best too be specific.

 

[smithsc]

its a 2000 app engine

 

[techie]

Remind me what an APP is please

 

[smithsc]

sorry its a sport 1.8t prior to it being called a cupra still 180bhp

 

[techie]

Ahh ok, well its in the downpipe infront of the cat, usually points upwards towards the car iirc. There isnt much pipe to check.

 

[smithsc]

ok thanks i.ll have a look tomorrow and just hope gsf have given me the right part

Thanks to this i have just found my Lambda sensor. Does anyone know it its a 4 or 5 wire on a 2001 Cupra?
My mate has a spare 5 wire of this R32 i could have. If not will have to buy but still need to know

 

[m0rk]

You will want to buy a genuine bosch part, that way it just clips straight in, no messing with soldering wires etc

 

[xswiftyx]

Yeah but what has the genuine one got? Went to Euro Car parts and there is a 4 and 5 wire one with the same part number

 

[smithsc]

mine had 4 wires mate
