What is the symptoms of a faulty Lamda. I broke mine last night when I had the downpipe off. I've fitted another Bosch sensor from a metro of all things and the car seems to run fine. I don't fancy paying Subaru prices for what is a standard component and was wondering if this one would be ok.
Cheers Jamie

 

Symptoms:

Lumpy off-boost
Running rich
Idle change


Subaru actually dont overcharge for the item as its basically the same price from Bosch outlets I believe

 

BUY OEM, nothing else IMO.

 

I know what your saying, but this one seems to work fine for now. As long as the car doesn't start displaying any erratic symptoms I'm happy to leave it until I've got time to get a new one.

 

how did you wire it up ?
the scooby connector has 3 wires, 2 white 1 black, i got a lambda I need to wire up but it has 2 white 1 grey and 1 black
help ?

 

Sounds like the wrong one.

thats what I thought but all the shop had was lambdas with 4 wires, so I figured since the oclour code was so close, and a quick search on lambdasensor.com showed the grey to be earth I figured it would be ok - but it isnt.....any one want a 4 wire non scoob compatible lambda sensor ? free to a good home...
