oh, & get a connector for the aerial lead - a solder one cost about 50p. cut the old end of & solder the 2 leads to the new connector :)

yes, you can get adapters. cost me about a tenner IIRC. available from any good ICE stockist

or mark (topless) at Zen garage, i know he was doing some good deals on uprated tubs :)

could be a miss caused by dodgy coil pack or injector connectors - check those are ok & no signs of corrosion. replace or clean as ness have you checked your plugs? check your O2 sensors, either with a conzult or putting the ECU in diag mode 2 clean connectors to PTU

:shock:

prove it :tongue:

yeah thanks!! :xxx: :xxx: :xxx: LOL! :p

need to get home for beer!! :duffer: :duffer: :duffer: happy birthday to others too :dance: thanks guys & girls :)

you saw it here 1st ;) :D

Asdas also! must be thousands TBH! we are on about 30+ vehicles now just in our workshop!! :wack:

well found! :)

AFAIK its affecting most makes, although on our cars it seems to be just late vehicles possibly with widebands.

it seems to be a SE issue

what is?? i *was* only joking!! PS. nice 1st post! :rolleyes:

yup same thing! never seen a diesel with a lambda probe tho as they run in an excess of air anyway & dont rely on keeping to Lambda values. sure its not a temp sensor? later cars with particulate filters have DPF upstream & downstream temp sensors.

no, dont have O2 sensors in diesels ;)

Update!! also cases of filling up at Asda's! avoid all supermarket fuel! LOL!!

err, yea. we think andyp broke it LOL! it is being looked into!! usual mods i suppose. intake, zorst, chip, 16psi boost, lightweight flywheel, underdrive pulley, clutch suspension mods, RLTC. ~400FWHP

I beat a guy a new in his new M3. just! they are bloody quick. if your standard then it will beat you! when he saw my mates out he said "f*** that zeds quick!" :hyper: :bow:

TBH most of our customers will prob use tesco regular - i didnt mean it was just the 99RON ;)

no probs, just dont pass the message on to any merc owner - were making £450+vat per car!! :rofl:

i know, have used them myself in the past. wont now tho!! :x:

we have had a very large no of customers coming into us with O2 sensor failures in the last week or so (on Mercedes), all indications seem to point to a problem with Tesco's fuel (at least here in Kent) although this has not yet been confirmed. I have just been on the phone to Tradings Standards who confirm that they have had very large nos of complaints accross all manufacturers :eek: :eek: :eek: please be aware as I know many people use Tescos 99RON fuel!!!

LOL! you sure you wasnt trying to make a mould?!?! :x:

HC is unburnt fuel, caused by misfires, incomplete burning in the cyl. 1 point to note is that if a non cat test fails on HC at idle (but CO is within limits) then the HC should be retested at 2000rpm. if it is under 1200ppm (& it prob will be!) at that speed then the vehicle would pass the emissions test ;)
