Try a new lambda

Try a new lambda

Thought it could be that was going. To be the last thingi was going to try know if its easy to fit ?

 

[syko6288]

simple enough but some tend to be a b**ch to get out

Will that work in an 16v 1.2? Or will I have touse the other make of the sensor?

 

[rftaylor]

my 182 had a healthy 21 mpg on the clocks today, could i assume it needs a new lambda sensor as well? any more codes Martin 182? that one doesnt seem to work.
thanks guys

Sounds. Like it if it doesn't change no matter what. Driving. Style it will be

 

[rftaylor]

interesting i have just found a reciept for the lambda replacement in march 2012!!!! surely it wouldnt balls up that quickly!

 

[Dolan]

Have you tried filling ur tires up ?? I no its silly but I lost 5/8mpg in the works van tires didn't look like they needed it.

try i think it was maybe deal31 infact that doesn't work either so just use parts25 and get 25%
or try oilspill30

Even with a coked up cat and possible dodgy lambda I still averaged 43.7 on the last tank in the RB!

Have you thought of looking at your driving style? Could it be better?


EDIT: just realised its a 1.2. 8v I assume? They're renowned for pathetic MPG... however I still suggest the above.

21 sounds pretty bad to be fair, it's only a 1.2. I would recommend diagnostics and not just throwing parts at the problem.

I have some shocks in for a cup packed 182 if you want them Sash, turned up wrong for another customer but remembered you needed some

 

[aiiden]

If its using. That much fuel there's an issue around the out put if it was any thing. To do with intake you would know about it

 

[rftaylor]

will start a seperate thread so as not to hijack aiiden, sorry buddy. Hope you solve your issue.

 

[Dan519]

oh hang on a minute, so the 1.2 16v is getting 30mpg? yeah that's all they do, they're crap

Its fine mate same problem propz. Be the same on mine

 

[Balders172]

Try 7mpg in traffic got picture evidence

Really? My 1.2 16v used to get 48-55mpg... even my 182 is doing 40mpg..

 

[Dan519]

182 doing near 40 is normal and easy, you don't have to stress the engine to make progress so it can be driven efficiently. The 1.2 16v in almost every case I've seen struggles to get any better than 35 when driven sensibly.

 

[LukeW]

I usually average about 31mpg in my 182, is this really low?

 

[Dan519]

depends how you drive

 

[LukeW]

I don't think I'm too bad! Only give it the beans and don't really care about smoothness when I go on a bypass on the way to work (about a 200m stretch!)

 

[Gandi69]

I hover between 28-31mpg but I sit in traffic a hell of a lot. Think my average speed according to the trip for the work commute is something like 12 mph
