lambda sensor spacer

[jamie1]

Am having trouble trying to find a lambda sensor spacer, am fitting a decat soon so will need a spacer i believe, or, can i just leave the sensor plugged in but no wound into the exhaust? Have read through a few threads but cant seem to locate one? Have also tried ebay etc but am still struggling trying to find one! I may be being stupid and blind but can someone point me in the right direction please.

Thank you

It needs to be a right angle one, straight one won't fit. Not in mine atleast search for Wayne angle block, expensive but does the job

 

[jamie1]

can the sensor just be left disconnected from the exhaust though or will it need to measure some sort of flow?

Don't bother mate just fitted one,bringing up new fault codes and car runs crap, getting it removed later today.

2 Faults Found:

17511 - Oxygen (Lambda) Sensor Heating; B1 S1: Performance too Low
P1103 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent
16517 - Oxygen (Lambda) Sensor B1 S1: Response too Slow

was this the angle block spacer?

 

[jamie1]

anyone? can the sensor be left un-wound from the exhaust and is the wayne angle block the only spacer avaliable?

This is strange as i had these faults before i fitted my spacer, now my spacer is fitted i have no fault codes. Did you reset the ecu after the spacer was fitted, if not thats why you still got these fault codes.

No make sure the sensor is plugged in. The spacer works perfectly i will post a link up for you in a few mins where you can buy one. You can only get them from the usa tho. If you go on and fit the decat you will get a fault code and the engine light on but it wont effect you car, i ran my decat for months without the spacer, all was ok. The light on the dash did my head in so thats why i fitted a spacer. All good now

 

[jamie1]

ok thanks. so even if i leave the sensor plugged in but not in the exhaust it wont work? the link would be handy though, cheers.

No make sure the sensor is pluged in the exhaust, it needs to take readings of some type.

Hi mate,yea, car had a battery reset and everything cleared and reset with vag-com, just wasnt happy with the idling and car felt bit sluggish,took it off and all is fine,xept light back on but will have to live with that till decide to stage 2 it.

Can i just clarify, does this connect to the front lambda sensor or the back one, as it says in the description that it fits to the 2nd O2 sensor
