my o2 sensor went down about a week ago..

got it fixed under warrenty.

but my car seemed pretty nippy while it was fucked.. overfueling i think

Im gonna be changing mine soon on the redtop to try and help improve fuel economy so i'll be going for one of the universal ones and just chop/connect the wires.

NGK/NTK do car specific ones now, no more than 40 on the outside!

- there are a number of after-market lambda sensors that will work fine and save you ££££s over the Vaux item. Any decent motor factor should be able to help - as Tomas says - expect to pay around £40

yeah, vauxhall near my area said £90 for new one!!! u can get universal one for around £30... but i dont know if it will be fully compatable!

Vauxhall ones go for around £140... universal ones are about £40 from Helfrauds

^^ it'll fuel wrongly so yeah :thumbs:

will this of affected the speed?

yup its just ur lambda sensor,
nothin to worry about, just get it changed,

yeah its another word for a lambda sensor, pretty easy to change! No too expensive either, between £20-30 i think

thought it was another name for the lambda sensor in the exhaust....:boggle:

It determines how much air/fuel mixture to use based on engine load and throttle position.:thumbs:
I think, someone correct me if i'm wrong
