How much for a lambda sensor...?
...how does £121 from my friendly local main dealer sound?! Sounds pretty steep to me. Does anyone know how much the Halfrauds non-genuine replacements are and what the pin-outs are?

WHAT!!
Dealer charged me £120
Apparently it's a Bosch part so you could it a lot cheaper if someone would be so kind as to post the part no...

In my experience you get what you pay for! I went down the cheap route and 2 lambdas later I contacted API engines and bought a Bosch one off David. Problem solved! IIRC it was about £90

Just replaced mine, £109 from the dealer i think is what they said.
Cheap compared to Audi Items, both of the lambda's went on my dads V6 allroad and they were over £300 each
and a bitch to get to so hours of labour charges as well.
Fortunatley still under warrenty, pheww
So £100 odd quid for a genuine item, not so bad.

If you have an early WRX (93-) an official sensor is around £300. All because the wire is about 18" longer!
If your lambda is shot you won't pass the MOT and your fuel consumption is likely to go up....You will probably be down on power as well....

Thanks for the replies
Changed MAF a while ago, changing lambda now because there are different symptoms, it's done 103k on the original one so I guess it's not the end of the world... Anyway, I bought a pukka one from the dealer this am, still feel ripped off though

Don't feel ripped off, some of the cheaper items you'll be replacing every other month 
Your genuine has probably lasted from as new......good value for moneey in the long term
