lambda sensors can be picked up from Vaux for £90 I think. Universal ones are also available for £45 so I've read..

i have bought a universal one for mine, going to try and get an original one though, not done a mile with mine yet, that problem with my engine people have said its the lambda but no engine management light could be because its universal??

the reason i ask is because i had a service done at richtoy and tey fitted these new parts for me. got bill and lambda was £107 and afm £213 (approx figures). they have never taken the piss with prices before but when i told a couple of lads who reckon they know about cars (i'm sure they know more than i do!) they pissed themselves. told me that i could've got each of them for around £15!
this has got to be a piss-take?! i can't have been mugged that bad, and by your replies it seems i haven't.

The universal lambda that I fitted to mine kept fluctuating between voltages, it was constantly changing, but the voltages were within normal operating voltages so it wasnt picked up by the ECU
Its almost as if it was saying, lean the mixture, no richen it, no lean it, and it resulted in a WAY too rich mixture,

they charged you vauxhall retail prices, tbh they're only charging what most other places wud... ure mates who said £15 don't know what they're on about tho - as shown here u can see they do retail for those prices but u can get them cheaper correct

They dont overly know that much about cars if they say that both parts are £15 universal lambdas are around £40 and they are probably confusing the air flow meter with the intake air temp sensor to get £15 they are talking scrap yard prices
