  1. Unplug electrical connector (4).
  2. Remove bracket for 4 electrical connectors at bulkhead (to facilitate removal and installation of Lambda probe).
  3. Move Lambda probe wiring clear up to Lambda probe.
  4. Remove rear noise insulation.
  5. Unscrew Lambda probe using tool 3337/5 and extension 3337/6 from Lambda probe open ring spanner set3337. [Note: The thread on the Lambda probe is coated with assembly paste. This paste must not be allowed to penetrate the openings on the probe.In the case of a used Lambda probe only grease the thread with high-temperature paste. This paste must not be allowed to penetrate the openings on the probe; high-temperature paste Parts catalogue.When installing, all cable ties and the clip at gearbox must always be reattached at the same locations to prevent probe wire from coming into contact with exhaust pipe.Secure all hose connections with the correct type of hose clips (same as original equipment): Parts catalogue]

Who makes these pages, and how

TorqFix was built by a mechanic — after a 2,700 km drive with five roadside repairs that no diagnostic tool could explain.

The figures on this page come from manufacturer workshop documentation and are shown as they are. The page is assembled automatically from that data — it is not written by an AI. The AI works in the chat, where it answers for your specific car. It writes nothing here.

Variants of the same model differ. Cross-check torque against the factory manual for your engine before final tightening.
