Oxygen sensor
Hi all,
Does anyone happen to know the part number for the oxygen sensor for a 1993 SE? The lambda light has recently come on and doesn't seem to want to go away. Would prefer to get a genuine Bosch if anyone has any suggestions of where to get one from. Thanks in advance, |

Hi,
The lambda light illuminating means that there are fault codes to be read, which might not necessarily be a fault with the oxygen/lambda sensor. Here’s the guide on how to read the codes: https://www.volvoclub.org.uk/faq/EngineOBDCodes.html And here’s pretty good video showing how to read them: https://youtu.be/odE9LoTQqwg See which fault codes you have as a first step, then go from there. Cheers |

Hi,
Thank you for the info, the code stored is 2-1-2 which does seem to indicate the sensor(?) Thanks to arms like Mr Tickle I can reach the sensor without jacking the car up and the metal outer part of the sensor seems to be flapping around. I can move it around like a joystick if that makes sense, the wires themselves seem undamaged and part of the sensor seems to be still in the boss. Thanks, |

I keep genuine bosch sensors with the correct plugs on them https://www.classicswede.co.uk/Lambd..._14206088.aspx
the universal sensors tend to not work very well |

You will have fun getting the remains out of the boss in the exhaust, if you can break/cut the loose part off, you should be able to do it with a normal 22mm socket and a 2' breaker bar though. Before fitting the new one, pull fuse #1 and after fitting it, before starting it, refit fuse #1. This clears the fault codes and old fuel trims the ECU will have learned from the failing Lambda sensor.

For a Bosch sensor with the plugs consider https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/163058043255 Check the part number of course ... Stephen .

If there is a blanking plug for a sensor on your exhaust down pipe just forward of the cat, that can be a better place for the sensor. Otherwise .... If scrotes steal the cat, you lose also the sensor. But that plug can be fun, mine is still not removed yet. Stephen .
