Felt a bit left out, Stu, so thought Id ask you about my lambda sensor...
Now a wideband one, and still keep killing it.
After a while the gauge seems to only read 14.83 (not accurate).
Is the sensor fubared, and wot killed it do you reckon?
Stage 3 with greens and bayjoo chip and t35 hybrid turbo

Cos it just sits there after a while irrespective of how much you hit the throttle and release it (ie from no throttle to WOT)
It seems to start okay when first used, and then as it 'warms up' (including sat in traffic)
I am sure it is wrong, cos it just then sits there at 14.83

Currently, it is a Tech Edge WB02 Wide Band gauge and controller, using a Bosch LSU 6066 sensor.
It was only installed about 6 months ago, and has spent 3 months of that off the road!
I think the wiring is okay, it is all new - lambda sensor is located in downpipe approx 4 inches from flange

Well remembered! I had a narrow band lambda sensor die in a similar way. I had put this down to shoddy parts, but the latest one makes me think otherwise!
Garage - ref the 8 odd:1, there is no way she runs that rich!

Hey mate - are you still playing with your S8? I seem to recall that you had one. Mine is currently on my "projects awaiting further time and attention" list!

Hmmmm. This is most confusing. I will have to work out exactly what my engine is doing to these poor gauges to kill them! It cant be a coincidence that two have failed now.
What about oil? The car does smoke on overrun. Could this clog/ kill a sensor?

Get yourself a sensor shield and shield the direct flow side of teh sensor so it cannot pick up particulate matter.
