Lambda sensor spacer

[The MoffMeister]

Hi guys need to get a hold of some lambda sensor spacers as i have taken my cat off my car and if keeps throwing up cel light and putting it in gimp mode.

Now does anyone know where i can get these from and if i'd need just the rear lambda sensor or if i'd need one front and rear?

cheers guys

Not sure where you'd get them, but you'll only need one for the rear sensor. The front one reads the AFR, passes this onto the ECU, which then keeps the fuelling right. So no spacer there!

The rear one is installed to tell the ECU that the cat is working okay - obviously in your case no cat means no worky properly, hence the gimp mode action.

Yes mate thats the one,it took around 10 days delivery time.Used to have a straight one fitted and that kept bringing the light on every 2-3 days very annoying.If you angle it against the airflow in the exhaust you will be fine mate.

[The MoffMeister]
