EML GDi
 
My EML came on today, cleared it and left the car. Came back and it came on again - so cleared it and off we go and get 38 mpg!
Code was a PO141 which is OBD-II Trouble Code: O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1, Sensor 2) Question is - is that the back one? i had to replace the front one after i used the wrong sort of cleaner and killed it, looks like the back is playing up. Best get under and check the connection first.
This might be the reason my mpg went poor:thumbs_up:

I have always been led to believe that if one sensor needs replacing, both should be done at the sametime. I don't have any direct experience, but working on the principle that both sensors will have done the same mileage under the same conditions, I can see the logic behind it.

Hope you get it sorted without too much hassle.

I found out about pairs later than i would have liked and only did the front one

Has a quick look and its going to be hard/expensive to find a rear lambda. Phone around Monday coming up.

Have looked at lambdas and its just getting awkward now, i think i have found it but if anybody can give a part number for it i would be forever in you debt!:thumbs_up:

Aren't the front and back the same?

druid Sep 19th, 2016 01:22

Not according to the ngk-bosch sites etc

gatos Sep 19th, 2016 09:22
