Hi Guys, my car is running rich so I want to change the Lambda sensor. They have got 35% off at GFS this weekend
(again) and wanted to know if the cheaper ones are any good as they are half the price.

General consensus with lambdas is that the aftermarket ones run on a slightly different range I think it was so don't work as well.

Go with a genuine Bosch one if you can get one

    Easiest thing to do is to cut the cable at the sensor end and then use a deep 22mm socket. Yes
