Re:LAMBDA SENSOR MG F MK 1

Hello I cant find my lambda sensor on my MK 1 MG F. I`ve looked on the CAT Or is it in the engine bay area Any clues please Len

This is a shot from the top of the engine I cant find a LAMBDA sensor anywhere Len

look where the manifold merges into one pipe, near the oil filter:

Thanks I thought I may have a super de-lux model that didnt need a Lambda !!! I admit I was getting worried Thanks again I suppose I could get one of my ring spanners and cut a notch in for the wire Len

I bought a special slotted socket to remove my Lambda sensors but ended up using an open ended spanner

Hello I had a pre MOT and the exhaust reading was high,and I was advised to replace the Lambda sensor Who are the best people to supply the correct one Len

I noticed that you don't have a heatshield over the exhaust manifold. Hopefully it was removed for the photo?
If it is actually missing I would advise fitting one as it gets very hot around there and will effect the alternator and add more heat to the bulkhead heatshield.

I do have it but I was looking for the Lambda thanks Len

How difficult is it to get to the Lambda sensor and to remove it Is it done by removing the rear wheel Len

Morning how difficult is it to replace Len

It's imposible to replace Len!

On the other hand to replace a sensor depends on the replacement. I bought two one was a kit version the other had a hard wired plug. The plug didn't match the fitted one so I used the kit.

I jacked the rear of the vehicle up, placed it on axle stands and slid under! The lambda sensors are accessible but a crowfoot span/socket is advisable. I removed the old one and installed the new one following the kit instructions. I had to cut the plug off the old one and wire into the new one!

Hope this helps, Dave.

I forgot to ask,what size socket do you need for the Lambda Sensor Len
