172 Lambda Sensor, Shall i buy Gen or non-gen??

[Sheila’s’ Wheels’]

Gen I can get for about £60.

Non-gen is around £40. Is it worth the saving???

 

[Greeny.]

For £20 more id get a gen if it was me.

if its a straight plug in non gen then yes, if is a c**k about with your soldering iron jobbie, no

You're not even supposed to solder non gen ones (Well, the Bosch ones we fit) so its just a dirty rig up unless it plugs straight in. Always run genuine Llambda's as some cars will just keep throwing the management light on with a motor factors sensor. Had a Colt in that HAD to have a Mitsi one in or the light would just keep coming on, no matter how many times I cleared the fault, she'd be back in a week later, lol.

yeah as long as you buy a bosch one, that will be a direct fitment. it's basically the same thing.
