Lambda sensor for MY99 Classic - where from?
 

Where is the best (ok cheapest) place to get a MY99 lambda sensor from and how much am i looking at?

Has anyone got a ball park figure?

best to get it from main dealer [original subaru] part no ; 22690AA321
£134.77 including vat. not cheap but will last and perform better than the aftermarket universal types.

Not sure if a MY99 is the same as a UK MY00, but I got one from Monty's Subaru (main dealer 0114 221 4333) for £70.70 inc. VAT six months ago. This was part number S22794AA010.

These are available ex stock from BR Developments. Give Branko a ring. ;)
Also available from RCMS.

your crazy if you pay that much, £20 off ebay :thumb:

I got a MY98 one off Subaru - £120 IIRC. I did look around on ebay and at motor factors etc, but my genuine one simply dropped straight in, same plug, no chopping of wires, I know it's the same quality as the original and TBH £120 was cheap compared to how much Subaru want for other things on my shopping list e.g. throttle position sensor, MAF sensor, idle air control valve - all almost £300 each!

Sideways : Have you fitted one of these and do you have the method of connecting the different coloured wires to the O/E loom???

I used a 4-wire universal and attached the 2 heater wires and signal wire to an OE connector.
I then put a crimp ring on the 4th wire, then grouned it to the chassis under the intercooler.

IMHO using a 4 wire universal can give you a better ground rather then relying on the 3-wire OE grounding itself through the Downpipe.

I did the same as scott, if you get a three wire universal you connect black of sensor to white on car and it dosent matter which way you join the other two wires, if you get a four wire it is the same apart from the grey wire which is just an earth wire, as the three wire earths its self through the exhaust

scott and side ways did you get the lambdas from the link on scotts post? its a while on so just wondering how they lasted/ performed would be great to know thanks mike
