What is the part no for the (OE) lambda & how much & where from please? ive been told its not the same item as fitted to uk MY99, is this true?

TIA
Andy

 

anyone?

 

I think they are specific to JDM and UK. I would ring Xtreme Scoobies, and make sure you have your VIN number handy. They will look it up for you.

I ordered mine from here http://www.cats-direct.com

I've ordered the 4 wire, which includes a separate earth, but the 3 wire should be a straight swop.

BTW, I'm fitting it to a MY99 STi Type RA tomoz, I have no reason to believe that it wont work, but I can tell you the results if it'll make you feel more comfortable.

 

I am very wary of these £30 ones, and I know from people on here that they don't last long at all. I still would like to know the signal difference with an OE one. It may be that it runs slightly richer, therfore costs you more in the long run

I know a new one is £100 ish, but should last 30k miles.

The lambda sensor is exactly the same as the MY99-00 uk. We can supply from stock at a lower than dealer price if you are stuck. It will last according to the state of tune.

Bob, do you stock MAF sensor's aswell?

Hi, Andy the part No. is 22690AA321 (lambda sensor).

Think I payed around £81.

That's cost price though!!

 

thanks sonic

 

Well, I fitted the Lambda and all is well with the Scoob again, so no compatibility issues. I obvioulsy cannot comment on the longevitiy of the unit, but at 30 quid a time it's hard to be bothered

 

Interesting. I might be swayed, only if Bob says so though

i can only assume that the more you car is tuned, the higher the EGT=shorter life of the lambda??
