Technical high emissions

[andy majorca]

would changing the lambda sensor be the first option over cat,and what sort of price should i be looking to pay for it,and how much more or less is a new cat

 

[Brooksy]

i paid £40 for a universal sensor for my bravo, which part of your emissions are high anyway mate

 

[andy majorca]

on going to mot at idle reading was0.40 whilehe was revving 0.60+- i live in majorca dont understand all the paperwork,but took it to a garage this morning about 330 quid for a new cat and about 120 quid for the sensor surely there is a solution out there some where. fuel consumption ok as is performance

 

[Brooksy]

try cleaning your lambda sensor with a bit of wd40, if that doesnt work but the readin does go down a bit i would suggest just buying a new sensor and fitting that, it's really easy to do m8

 

[andy majorca]

do i need to do anything else i read in forum about letting the car idle until fan kicks in then gentle drive,also is the sensor what ican see at back of engine on downpipe

 

[Brooksy]

yeah im not sure how if your car will have 2 sensors or not but my bravo only has the 1, if you follow the downpipe you will see a wire sticking out of it thats your lambda sensor
