My engine is 2.0tdi common rail code CBBB. i fitted the sensor as you can see in the post and it fixed my car. ive done 8k miles since I changed the sensor and it has been fine. if you have already bought it then just fit it. The error codes don't lie.

I always measure what I've taken out then use this as the starting point for what goes back in. Always check the dipstick Before I drain to ensure I'm under the full line line. would never use a suction method to remove the oil. I feel that it would never remove all the old oil? if there is a plug to remove all the old oil that is perfectly situated at the lowest point in the sump I can't understand why you would not use it? Gravity is such a tool, why fight against it? it takes minutes to remove the under tray and then drain the oil, even just using basic car ramps.

Is it really necessary to fit a second battery? are you trying to crack a walnut with a sledgehammer?

Why do you want to fit a battery in the rear?

Mine did very similar. lots of head scratching and out of warranty. I replaced the battery as it was getting on a little. It solved the problem. It it has never happened since.

Your picture is the right side of the flap motor housing. The three screws you need to undo are on the front. Try not to drop anything and be careful with the spring that is on the motor arm this video is very useful, it gave me the confidence to do the job myself. you can only do it this way if you have the metal intake manifold. I believe if you have the black plastic intake you have to remove it to do the job?? hope this helps and saves you a few pounds.

eBay, can't remember the seller. was £27 delivered.

This pic you show is the throttle valve or anti shudder valve. It sits below the egr valve. It is not the intake manifold flap position sensor. this sensor is up a little on the right next to the head. mine had the Same code as yours and fitting the bracket was simple and has worked perfectly for over a year now. it is an easy fix as long as your intake is the aluminium one and not the black plastic one.

Ive just had mine off as I replaced the egr valve as the throttle position valve is attached to the egr. when the valve is off the car it should be open. If the one you are putting back on is open then I think int might work?

If it S1 B1 then it is a pretty easy fix. I did a brief how to on here a few months back. Mine went at approx 170k. sensor and socket to remove were about £70 on eBay. the sensor has been fine since, no EML light

This is a straightforward fix. i did the s1 b1 lambda sensor replacement on my superb a few months back. It is almost identical to the yeti under the bonnet (my wife has a yeti 2.0tdi 170 CFJA engine, my superb is 2.0tdi CBBB) sensor was £69, sensor socket was £5-6, took me 20 minutes. Code cleared after approx 30 miles of driving. It's not been back since. i did a little write up on superb forum about it with a few pics. hope this helps, let me know?

There are two sensors. One pre cat (the one I changed, sensor 1 bank 1) then one post cat accessed from under the car. i thought about cleaning but decided to buy a new one as only £69. These sensors are very sensitive and I'm not sure cleaning a sensor that has become faulty or reached the end of its life is beneficial. I'm not sure how old your sensor is etc.. my engine light went off after about 50 miles of driving and approx 3 start ups. It has stayed off for about 1500miles now, fingers crossed.

My engine light has gone off after a drive this morning.

Didn't check resistances. life of sensor is 250000km which is pretty bang on for 167k miles so decided to change it. i think the soot is because of it running rich due to sensor failure?? who knows? A new sensor can't do any bad.

Engine light came on recently and scan showed P2196 08598. Relates to first Lambda sensor in the engine bay at the manifold. Bought the correct sensor off eBay for £69 (Bosch) and changed earlier today. I had to buy a lambda sensor removal socket which was £6, also off eBay. There were some second hand sensors on eBay ranging from £25-45, with new only £69 I opted for this. Pretty straight forward. Hardest part wash undoing the electrical connector from the old sensor and threading the new one through the back of the engine bay in the clips. The old sensor was a little stubborn coming out but nothing too hard. Came out fairly quickly with nice firm controlled use of a 3/8" ratchet and short extension bar to give a bit more clearance. Took a few pics that could help somebody down the line. I'm no mechanic but always willing to have a go myself. If it helps somebody else save time and money I will be happy. The socket enables you to get it over the lambda sensor with the wire connectors attached. Simply un clip the heat sheild from around the wires near the sensor and you are ready to remove the sensor. My my car is a 58 170 elegance with 167k on it.
