Where is the plug for pre-cat lambda sensor?

[jesus]

As above! I know it's a PITA to get to but where actually is it? I couldn't even see it...

 

[Mr R.]

It's fitted to the rear of the sub frame on the gearbox side.

 

[jesus]

Cheers, only accessable from below then? (This is a 182 - forgot to mention).

 

[Mr R.]

I've fitted a 182 manifold to my ph1.
You can get to it from the top but I had the air filter out of the way.

 

[jesus]

Is it easier from the top or still fiddly? Unsure whether to just take it to the mechanic or not.

 

[bloke]

you need three arms and double jointed wrists to do it:wink:

are you doing it on the floor or ramp?

 

[jesus]

Jacked up/on drive-on ramps.

Need to do this myself this week, is it really that bad? I'm doing mine on stands so not looking forward to it!

 

[bloke]

i use long bent pliers to hold the loom end and then plug it in, easy on a ramp but wouldn't fancy doing one flat on my back. you can get to it from the top if you pass the plug up by the arb, still bit fiddly though.

 

[Oggy997]

I think I'll just replace the cat for now and do the lambda if any issues persist!

 

[jesus]

Just done it... what a ballache! I was underneath the car on my back and my mate was messing in the bonnet area and together we just about managed it. Had to zip tie it to the roll bar though because the attatching bit snapped off the old one.
