[Note: Threads of new Lambda probes are already coated with assembly paste; the paste must not get into the slots on the probe body.In the case of a used Lambda probe grease only the thread with high-temperature paste. The paste must not get into the slots on the Lambda probe body. High-temperature paste Parts catalogueWhen installing, the Lambda probe wire must always be reattached at the same locations to prevent it from coming into contact with the exhaust pipe.Fit all cable ties in the original positions when installing.]

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.
