Lambda sensor after new cat?

[HG182]

So I recently fitted a sports cat to my car but used the old sensors (182). During mot when it was going on the emissions tests it threw an EM light up. Codes say a sensor issue. Cant remember the code unfortunately. Deleted the code and the light stayed off until the car was left on idle the other night. Is it generally a good idea to replace sensors when going new as they may be coked up and the clean cat could mess with them? If so what is the best place to source genuine sensors?

Cheers

I'd just replace the front one, the rear doesn't do anything to aid the running of the car.

Did it pass the emmissions test?

Eml could be a number of things though so best off getting it properly diagnosed.

It did ..... just! So just the front one should do it? As said the code was related to a lambda sensor so hoping nothing else is wrong.

Yeh just the front one. My rear one is just tie wrapped up to the abs sensor wiring as the threads stripped when I took it out of the old cat and the car has been running perfectly fine for the last 2 years like this since I replaced the front lambda which was destroying my fuel economy

No problem.

Have a look through their other stuff.

There is only one shipping charge per order.

Just one other question. There is another Bosch lambda on the page that is £50 odd. How come? I supppose the one you linked on other post £30 odd will do both pre and post cat?

0258006046 is the Bosch number and can be used pre & post cat.

Opie are listing the same item @ £47, apparently if you are aware of it, you can use some code for 10% off with free postage £42.

If you want 2, its cheaper from CAR TECH.

Brilliant to hear. Thinking two is definitely the better option. Just get them both refreshed for peace of mind!
