Default st170 fault codes

right i am pretty sure i am thinking right but i hit a speed bump bit faster than i should of done and got a right thump from underneath due to the car being so low. anyway ten mins later when i had turned the car off and restarted the engine light came on. with these codes. p0135 p0131 and p1131 all relating to the front lambda sensor. think thats a good indication the sensor is fooked! Agree??

yep i'd say you've fucked it.

i'd also check for other damage like cracked exhaust, sump, etc from hitting the deck and check your tyres if they like to occasionaly catch the little tab on the wings.

Have got Gaz coilovers on it running 205/45/17 off the top my head

checked its plugged in. am guessing its broke something inside for all 3 codes to appear.

did you order any specific spring rates with the gaz as i'm very tempted to get them (not the golds) or did they come with a generic set of springs?

yeah for all 3 codes it must be duff inside. would have thought thered be some obvious external damage aswell though.
