That link doesn't seem to work for me,
But yes I will get their support email and see what yani says and report back - would be handy to have the reading in voltages! :thumbup:
i was trying to say last night before my internet died
You can check the preheaters resistance with a multi-meter to see what its showing
Autodata lists it as been 4-11 ohms on pins 3 and 4
Is the 16v the same as the 8v in the sense that you can swap the lambda sensors over?
If so - swap them over see if the code moves
If it doesn't move, yes the post was okay and aint now - i'd be seriously looking at a potential wiring issue

Update from MultiEcuScan support and yani, and he has informed me that the 8v and 16v obviously have very different ecu's and they share no similarities - also they do not have any more information regarding the ecu in my car and therefore it looks like no further support for this particular issue, appreciate his communication and hard work though,
I'm a little surprised at this: as BlueDriver -- which is non-ECU-specific -- can read both lambda voltages by default: which would make me think it's just a generic OBD2 reading....
Sorry I never got to fiddle with MES, by the way: not very well; and today will be the first time (fingers crossed) that I'll have driven in nearly a week.
Thank you for trying, though.
I wonder if Torque, or something similar, could work (with one of the more 'basic' Bluetooth dongles, for example...)? :chin:
Yes I thought so too...hmmm
It's fine, I've been busy analysing mes and sorting out my suspension bush's
Well Mr Homeward you are psychic - I have just this morning ordered a Bluetooth version of the obd elm 327 (meant to for a while anyway), with the intention of trying the free (and possibly paid) torque app
Very good sir
And I haven't even had my first espresso of the day...!
Good luck -- it will be interesting to see if it works!
By the way: with BlueDriver, on the 'Live' screen, the settings let you choose from "All" or "Supported" data sources -- so that, once it's connected to the ECU, you can see which settings are accessible. Select these, and they then appear on a list of "Active" sources....
This post says 10 to 30 ohms...
Pic of new lambda (was in pre-cat) and older lambda (was in post-cat)
New one is considerably different and a much longer wire
That top one looks like something out of the Tardis to me. Do you have part numbers for either...?
PS: I think I'd stick with Ziggy's resistance figures, by the way.... :worship:
do your lambdas look like any of them?
They both look like the thinner one -- but that's because they're new (and from Big Mick: which is where I think you got your new one from, too...). Can't honestly remember what the old ones looked like, to be honest -- all I remember is that looked very original....
PS: I wonder if it's the discrepancy in resistance that's part of the problem? (I know the top one sees more 'action' -- but I replaced both, when the top one failed: because I'm paranoid; and expected the bottom one to fail soon, because the first one had. I always like (slightly obsessively, I know...) pairs of parts to be the same spec....)
