Hiya Guys,

As you know my tin top failed it's emissions in quite spectacular fashion. After asking you guys and taking the test results to college to ask my tutor we are pretty sure it's the lambda sensor that's gone for a burton.

Anyone know where I can get a 5 wire lambda sensor from at a reasonable price?

It's for a 51 reg Seat Ibiza 1.4ltr AUD engine?

have you tried seat?
They would be best.

have a look on fuel parts uk they have 5 suppliers in dorset one of them is in poole
had products from them via a local stockist no problems at all

Just Lambda http://www.lambdasensor.com/

or Gendan http://www.gendan.co.uk/oxygen_sensors.php

More likely to be the wiring than the sensor --- very easy to test likewise test the CTS as this will give your symptoms.

Generally lambda sensors don't just stop working they just slow down, usually after about 8 years use they reach the point where the engine ECU decides the Lambda probe is responding to slowly. However bcause of the heat they are exposed to the wiring and connectors can give trouble long before that.


All you can really diagnose from the test figure is that the engine is running in open loop mode.

Much better to do some simple tests with a DMM and/or get the fault code read than muck about blind.
