lamda sensor

[Mark One]

believe it to be done and need it out. Had a 22 on it and really been going for it but she wont budge.
ANy tricks, tips for a genie-arse?

It's not a reverse thread is it? that'd make no sense
back in a mo, i'll have another tug on it :quiet:

Cheers

yeah, just unpluged the sensor and it runs better without it. was running much too rich

try harder? no real tips you can give here heat up the exaust around it cut the plug off and get a good ring spanner on it and go for it.
if it snaps drill it out + retap.

Retap, oh joy. :dead:

Just put some effort into it mark!!

After applying more torque than a VW V10 diesel, I have had some movement out of it. Used a make shift breaker bar over 1m long! About 10 little turns later it isnt getting any easier.
havent ruined the bolt head tho.

I'll just stop being a winging girl and get on with it!

Try heating the threads up?

 

[B5 BDJ]

thanks but unfortuantely were not all rich students like you!!

its easier, granted not as fun or satisfying!

 

[Mark One]

i aint rich here ben!
Im selling my entire parts collection and my old car, and probably my guitar just to try and cover my freakin £1300 insurance bill.

I'm not eating this term at uni.
Think i'll be living off egg sandwiches and unflavoured water. NOW THATS DEVOTION TO A CAUSE!

Your gonna be at home gettin beef steaks once or twice a week!

soon you will get the hump and just go for it, it WILL move with your breaker bar that long - wether it snaps or undoes is another story but either way its not much of a problem

WD40?

 

[Mark One]

DONE IT!

S**T THE BED that was hard work

Dont know if you can see but the thead on the sensor is nearly completely smooth. Had a feel in the downpipe. It's ok. Not the sharpest thread i've ever felt but it's certinally all there.

My hands are killing me now

New sensor from MK tommorrow, wonder if europarts will stock. Service is always so so bad there.

 

[Mark One]

WD40?

used but din help. It never seems to does it

out now tho!

 

[BRUN]

if its for the valver, DONT buy a universal lambda sensor, get one thats listed as direct fit for the vehicle, and if possible get an NGK one

for whatever reason i seem to go through them really quickly, and the NGK's last twice as long as the Bosch

 

[Mark One]

thanks for the heads up mate, i'll look out for that

Would a faulty lambda sensor be making my idle run funny?

Can do but there other possibilities.
