post cat lambda sensor stuck

Post by steve_weegie » Sat Jun 23, 2007 6:31 pm

Hello everyone, n00b mechanic here again....

I'm in a bit of a pickle.... While trying to get the exhaust off, the post cat lambda sensor is determined not to unscrew. If i could get the exhaust out from under the car, i'd be happy tackling it with some unholy tools but i cant seem to find where the darn electrical connector is!

Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks,

Steve

<snipped>

The connector had wedged its self between the engine compartment and the outside world. Got it out through the engine bay after cutting the cables 8)

Now all i need is for the rain to stop :roll:

You needed to remove the wheel arch liner, then the cable would have come through easily enough ...

Cheers,
