Lambda Hole

[mwn11]

Just ordered a decat from NWPerformance and want to block teh lamba hole and tie the sensor up somewhere else as the EML would really annoy me.

What is the best thing used to block the hole?

Im guessing there must be a bolt the right size? M8 or something like that?

Any advice would be helpful.

Fits the mk1 ones so should be ok for mk2 downpipe too? But let someone else confirm...

Try it with both lambda's in as normal

i never got the EML up

May have to if i cant find a bolt that fits, have a feeling it might arrive tomorrow.

Hopefully if it does though, somebody local has a code reader and may turn the light off for me in returned for some brewed beverages

the bung laine posted will fit

The light doesn't always come on, try it with both lambda and see. If not get the light switched off.

 

[mwn11]

Yeah il probably do that then.

Just looked at that bung and it says M18 thread, i may have one of those knocking about.

Lol I've just ordered from nw perf and they forgot to put the hole in anyway. But to be honest I don't care as the light is more than likely gonna come on either way. Some people get it some don't.

Mine came on, i just ordered one of those £20 code readers of ebay and cleared the fault, never been back on since.

 

[mwn11]

Fitted today and taped the sensor up and bunged the hole.

But the EML light still came on?!?!

Should i of not taped and bagged the sensor and just tied it up behind the heat sheild bare?

If i do this will it go off?

think its just a luck of the draw thing with the management light, some people get the light others dont i personally did. but i know others that havent

 

[mwn11]

Even though my second lambda isnt even in the hole? :S

i will have a fitting in the van (plumber) that will fit. i guess its only a half inch male cap you need, or something very similar. either order that one in earlier reply or get yourself to a plumbers merchants etc. i would seal it in with a bit of ptfe tape personally, should go in and come out easy then

 

[mwn11]

i actually found an old spark plug fitted perfectly with some thread lock haha

 

[clio_luke]

yeah, there will be plenty of bits and peices lying around that are the same thread pretty common size. nice one.

 

[domjolly]

that bung will fit thats whaqt i have in mine

yeah i bought a lambda plug from a car parts place, didnt come on stright away though took a few days

i just left the 2nd sensor wired up and cable tired it to the underside of the car where ever i could, didn't wrap it in anything.

no problems or lights on the dash for me!
