My car was having a few problems with electrics and the engine management light has been on for quite a while, I took it to my local dealer and was told I needed 2 new lamda probes and an air cooling sensor (my fans were running continuously when the car was turned on even if it had been sitting overnight), plus a regulator for the passenger window. I was quoted

I'd check it out with another dealer if I were you mate.

Maybe it's right, maybe it's not. It pays to talk

Which engine does your car have? Lambda probes can cost anywhere between around £85 and £179 depending on engine, with around £106 being the more common price. The £103 quoted should be right.

I've just bought a new front lambda for my 2001 Octy vRS an it cost 105 inc VAT if that helps.

Have you bought Tesco or Morrison's petrol recently?

me? errrr no.

I think the last time he bought fuel was about a year ago. :P

Can I just add, that if you have climatronic an run it without econ on, or aircon and run it with the A/C on then both fans run from startup anyway.

And that evaporated in the tank due to lack of use..

Cheers lads.

I ended up just going with it and all the works cost £536 (nearly **** myself in the garage).

And now just to follow on my heater in the car doesn't seem to fully heat up, it used to be that I would have been sweating had I had it on full blast for about 20mins, it didn't seem to get up to full heat this morning on my 30min drive in to work. Any ideas?

Probably why it runs lean.
