exhaust problem

[Jesske]

Now this is difficult to explain in English, but I will try.

I lost my 2nd lambdasensor this weekend. It just came out of the gap and banged against the car. I removed the (Milltek) first part where the sensor was located and I saw I have to tap new .... (this is a word I don't know in English, but the thing you screw the sensor in was too thin. It just felt out).
I tried a bolt, but that also falls out.

Someone I know is going to tap new ... (again the word) tomorrow. Can someone tell me what kind of ... it is (metric, mechanic, ... ??) and how big it has to be?

Thank you for helping me

so, its lost the nut off the exhaust where the lambda probe screws into? (if that makes sense ?

"thread" is the word you're looking for i believe

A good attempt Jesske. Think the word is ''thread'' cant help you any more.

I can not screw the sensor in the gap, because that gap became too wide
Screwed it in and out too many times

The word in English is ''stripped''.

Ah you've lost the thread!

Got there in the end. You need it re-tapping to the correct size for the lambda probe? I'm sure someone can help with the thread size, but could the thread not be measured off the lambda probe itself?

That's completely damaged by banging and rubbing on the street
