So basically put the new lambda as the regulating probe and put the old as the diagnostic? Or would it be worth me buying a new Bosch one?? Their only £25 so surely thats'll be the best route? I just wanted to know what people thought and alot are saying lambda so I'll get that done tomorrow when cam belt done

Go onto the motorway and set CC at 60mph, reset your MPG counter. If it is 40mpg+ then it's fine.



That is normal?

10 miles is not a long journey and I imagine the roads are not consistent so you are stopping and starting as well?

I can get 45mpg on the motorway @ 60, I average 31mpg during work.

Yeah thats what I think, I do a lot of stop start and when on a run it gets OK figures. Besides people on here state they get high 30s in town driving so its worth a shot, its only 30 minutes work if that to swap the sensors.

totally inconclusive test. I've seen one with a dead lambda (and I mean DEAD, no signal at all) still give ~40mpg. The car didn't drive well though

Plug in and look at live data and long term trims is the only way to tell if it's working properly. And no a code reader off ebay isn't good enough for this

Well of course looking at the live data is the only true method of testing, but as mentioned in the 2394823948 other threads about poor MPG this is a good place to start for free!

Where can I get a Bosch lambda for £25?

Inconclusive I know, but over a 3 mile section @ 60mph on cc, I saw 42.5mpg this morning. The runs fine (very well in fact) so I assume it's just the type of driving I do now.
