Lambda sensor help needed please

Post by Pootz »

Ok...one more question and hopefully that'll be it for a while

The last thing I have to replace is my lambda sensor on my 2.0 litre 16v ecotec
The pics show what is currently fitted and I'm hoping someone can tell me if the one in the link is the same or if not can someone point me in the right direction?
Many thanks

This is mine

And this is the one I need to know about buying and will it be the correct one?

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272552592016

Many thanks in advance

According to EPC4, the 4 wire sensor is part number 90411959.

Cross referencing the number gives VE381021.

The ebay item says that it is compatible with VE381021 among others, so yes it will fit your car.

Awesome, thank you.
I'm glad it is as it's 136 quid for the sensor at euro car parts

An original VDO part on the bay of e is only £116.

Or try LFM Vauxhall.
They usually do good prices on Lanbda sensors.

I've just ordered this one now but if all goes wrong I can claim a refund through PayPal and try another one

I cannot see that things will go wrong.

Chances are that if it is a poor quality item, then it may not last more than a year before it starts to cause fuelling problems.

As long as it gets me through the next mot in September I'll be happy as I'm planning on a stainless system after that
