Engine: S60: - Lambda Sensor Replacement Question

YellowPinkie · Jul 30th, 2009, 15:19

Can anyone tell me if it is a simple job to replace the front lambda sensor on a 2001 2.4T S60? I can't see it from above, and would like to know a bit about the job before I take the undertray off.

I have a 2001 V70 2.4T and back in January was experimenting connecting an oscilliscope to the oxygen sensors and various others , eventually removed it to have a look . It came out no problem , it was a bit tight but not too bad but I could see the possibility that if it had been corroded in it could have been a different matter , I think you can buy a special socket to remove these and for the £15 they cost would probably be worth buying . There was nothing wrong with mine but I cant help taking things apart to have a look and it went back no problem .

Is it easy to get to? I anticipate that it's just south of the turbo, but still quite high up the back of the engine...?

I'll cut and weld an old socket about I think, I've got plenty.
