FAO People who have changed their lambda sensor

[The Boosh!]

Yes yes its probably spelt wrong but care

Did you notice any change in your MPG as im currently only getting 33mpg driving like a nannan with the very occasional boost.


was considering changing it and seeing if it makes a difference.

also, where can i get them from and roughly how much are they

thankyou,

Luke!

think your mapping is going to be a bigger issue than the lambda. obviously map was tailored to inlets and decatted exhaust with induction. so may be overfuelling slightly

mapping? Yeh it has been mapped by paul at rs tuning but i thought that was ment to improve mpg?

 

[Da]

It can effect it yes, is the warning light on?

They aren't cheap from memory.

 

[The Boosh!]

nah no warning lights or anthing on... its just i know its capable of more mpg than its getting...

the car is mapped for a maxogen, matched inlets and exhaust - which it no longer has. dont know if that would make a diff? DAz what does yours do day to day?

If the car was mapped with those mods, the engine will not be running "as it should"...

Will more than likely be running a little rich!

So get the mods back on.......... Or map it for standard set-up

I wish I was getting 33 mpg!


Just get some deeper pockets Luke

zorst is on its way... matched inlets and maxogen are a problem!

must be your driving my average to work was 36

lighten the right foot and you will see it creep up

once you start modding it, the mpg while rise as well, i got around 38 with all the mods on with the current map :approve:

Lol cheers mate. did you get my sms about the touch up pen. i can't work it out :S

 

[Da]

I generally get high 30's in mine Luke, can be as low as high 20's though depending on what I'm doing.

Motorway cruising will be in the low 40's easily.

Lol cheers mate. did you get my sms about the touch up pen. i can't work it out :S

yeah i did matey soz i didnt reply, its a colour paint and a laquer so prep the area, ie clean off any dirt and debris, apply the colour, leave for 24hours to harden then polish it down so it sits smooth then apply the laquer over the top

i used to use a cocktail stick and dab it in as the brush is way to big for touching up stone chips

Oh and btw andy, michelin pilot exaltos are NOT cheap although 309 for 4 isn't bad

tell me about it, im on 18's now so they are even more lol

you dont need to change the 182's until after summer though, they are at the perfect level for summer driving at the mo pe2's with a mm or so over the markers will be nice and grippy in this weather :approve:

get some at the end of summer when the roads start to get greasey again
