Exhaust / Lambda Probe issues
Posted: Sat Oct 27, 2007 2:05 pm
So the story so far,
On the way to work the other night, my car was slowly getting louder, until there was a "clunk" and then it got very loud. Imagine the sound of a V8 it was a bit like that which out of a Sunny GTi is not right.
Got to work checked underneath the car and to my surprise the exhaust had split at a weld on the manifold.
Managed to get the car to my girlfriend's in the morning and started racking idea's. Between her dad and our dearest maffsx we managed to get it all welded up again. Although now we have the problem of the lambda sensor not going back in. For some reason it threaded so now it will not grip at all and stay in place.
They are currently trying to work out a way round it but so far to no avail (sp).
Maffsx has provided a new probe but it won't fit as far as i am aware.
Has anyone got any idea's as i need to get to work tonight and so far i have not slept since last nights shift as im too stressed.
What would happen if i ran with out the sensor?
Help Please
