Anyone know any cheap suppliers of OEM lambda sensors to fit a MY01 WRX?

I've been down the path of fitting aftermarket jobbies and soldering them in myself etc. on my old WRX and they always seemed to fail quicker than the original.

 

i'll find out for you!!!!!!!!!

but a pattern one with soldering will all ways be cheaper!!!!!!

and a scrapyard one will be even cheaper!
(just so happens i have a 2 or 3 wire one knocking about!!!!!!)

 

I know they're cheaper, but in my MY93 WRX I had the Halfrauds one which failed after 9 months and when it failed started to read rich thus causing the engine to lean out

I replaced that with a Bosch sensor from just-lambda and the engine just never seemed as smooth and I got some odd readings from the AFR (never seemed to do the Knight Rider thing although it seemed to read correctly at WOT).

I just think the cheap ones *may* be false economy, I want a fit and forget jobbie (for the next 40,000 miles anyway)

 

i to agree - dont go there with the cheap and cheerfull. Spend the extra. I got through 2 of them and 2 expensive sets of plugs before i found that that was the problem. Got mine from dave at api engines. Bosch one, cars never ran so well and it will last.
