Hello,

I need a lambda sensor, and I need to know whether I have 2,3 or 4 wires. Its a Fabia 1.4 16V on a 2001 51 plate. Its all too confusing for me!

Does anyone know this?

Thanks in advance!

Great stuff!

You are much more knowledgeable than I (can you come and fit it now?)

Bit fed up, as was just going to put it up for sale, and then the dreaded light comes on...I presume there is only one of these sensors?

Oh and dont laugh, but can you give me blow by blow account of where it is? Speak as if you were explaining this to somebody from outer space please ....

There are two probes one in front and one behind the catalyst and they are different to each other, though both have 4 wires.

Oh NO!

How do I know which one it is?

Usually from having the fault codes read, what makes you suspect that a Lambda probe is faulty?

THanks for this help!

I had the fault read at the skoda garage, and they told me it was this sensor. The printout they gave me is unfortunately at work in my drawer, and I cant get it till a week Monday when school re-opens.

I think it was 17604

17604 P1196 O2 Sensor Heater Circ.,Bank1-Sensor1 Electrical Malfunction

That looks to me like the sensor in front of the catalyst behind the exhaust manifold. I think that the part number is 036906262G for engine codes AUA, AUB, BBZ and BBY, you will find the engine code on the data sticker in the service book or on the boot floor. There was a change in part number so confirm it with your dealer. I would hope that someone more knowledgeable than me will be along later to verify what I am saying.

Pretty sure the first lambda probe on the 1.4 16V is a broadband lambda probe and thus a five wire probe.

Oh no:confused:

4 or 5, 4 or 5, 4 or 5....? Will I be able to get someone to take it out, look and put it back before I get the replacement part?

Dont need to remove it to see how many wires are on it.

Something wrong with buying one from Skoda?

Hi,

No nothing wrong except I can get one online for

Just look on the exhaust system.

Thanks!

I will go take a look see what I can see..:confused:

Will check back in when I have something to report!
