lambda sensor question

[s3gazz]

hi i have a amk 225 s3 and need the lambda sensor for my down pipe is it the same as the one near cat or not and how many wires does it have tar

 

[Speedy Steve]

They are different to each other if i remember right the top one has 5 wires and the bottom 4 but it could be the other way round been a while since i did mine

Deffo different.

Had a quick look on euro car parts, but they don't stock a wideband pre cat sensor sadly.

iv been quoted 60 from gfs for down pipe one that seems ok to me other one i payed 40
would it be that thats coursing bad fuel consumption loss of power and crap drive
or is it the egt sensor tar lads doin head it now maf sensor fault as well god nose witch one it could be argggggggg

 

[superkarl]

Both egt and lambda contribute to bad fueling and loss of power

here we go mate

01314 engine control module
17833 evap purge valve (n80)
16955 brake switch f
16486 mass air flow sensor (g70)
17523 oxygen lambda sensor heating b1 s1
17861 exhaust gas temp sensor 1 (g235)
17525 oxygen lambda sensor heating b1 s2

some of the other faults have gone since i had my cat took off today so thats abit better

cheers tuffty

Having a quick look at some of those codes seem to come up as 'short to ground' as a common description...

Judging from your ECU 01314 error I am of a mind that the cause of a lot of these errors are due to the ECU picking up another problem
01314 - Ross-Tech Wiki

Also digging around I found this..
VWVortex.com - got 8 codes 17880 17833 17525 17843 etc

Has some similar codes to yours... all the posts seem to suggest fuel pump relay for some reason... thats a start point at least...

Google is your actual friend btw ;P

cheers mate great help where is the control module and how will i find fault i best off going to see a car electriction who nose what hes doing

where is the o2 sensor mate i dont now non of these lol and how much are fuel pumps looks like ill buy one and fit it see what happens canot be that dear

would u say im still needing lambda sensor or egt sensor and maf or fit fuel pump and go from there this helped alot mate tar

 

[<tuffty/>]

I think at this point my friend its worth taking it to a specialist...

O2 sensors are lambdas... fuel pump relay should be under the dash drivers side IIRC but no idea what one...

I would personally get the car checked over by a qualified auto electrician as all the faults you have appear to be the result of a larger problem... I suspect if the initial problem is fixed then most of the other faults should clear...
