Title: Lambda sensor recommendations
Post by: Jimbob on 14 April 2016, 18:26:58

Need a new rear sensor : 9199469

Best part of £150 at Vauxhall

Online, varying makes from £20 upwards, along with seeming different part lookup references on different sites.

Anyone recommend a good value & reliable replacement for a 3.2 rear sensor?  Cable lengths seem to differ too, and as the bosses are further back than standard.....

Or do I have to go and bend over :(

Branded NGK are a good bet. Cheap ones might need your plug soldered on.

NGK dont actually list a replacement....without soldering, and i'd rather buy complete.

Guess you are using generic NGK then, as I cant see a replacement rear on their site?

2nd hand could be an option......

Which NGK are you all fitting?

I can only find a direct swap for the front.

Rear not available for 3.2

There is a insignia 3.2 available, but thats a different part number and cable length.

For the rear sensor I think I'd just chance a generic. Better still, an NGK/Bosch branded generic sensor.

They're only there to keep the EML off and don't get the heat that the front sensors do.

You'll probably need to cut the connector off the old one and solder and heat shrink onto the new sensor, but no real hassle.
