Lambda Probe
Hello,
How much would a genuine VW part cost for a Golf 2.0 SE (2002, Auto)?
The problem is fuel consumption & smell (a few days after a standard service, I should add).
The dealer has diagnosed it as a Lambda Probe problem. From my brief research using Google, the price of this part is substantially different to what
the dealer is quoting and I need to confirm.
TIA. |

make some phone calls. euro-spares etc. or try posting on the watercooled site. much better chance of getting an accurate answer elsewhere.

Hi and thanks.
I have tried to call and most are closed till the 12th or later.
It seems however that I have no option but to settle for the dealer's quote; the people I was able to speak to this morning have indicated a price
that is within $100 of the quote and it has to be a VW genuine part.
All up, to replace and clean the upper engine it's going to cost around $900 inc GST.
I am hoping that someone here may be able to give me an indication.
Thanks once again. |

you could try calling Muller & Muller or Brooky Spares (they are in Sydney) and see what they would quote for a 2nd hand one

Sorry, my knowledge of cars is basic, just relaying what they've said to me.
I am in Melbourne and I did call Volkspower from the adv on this board but they're coming back on the 19th.
Bizarre, I'll give your suggestions a call.
Bond, is that a store in Oz? I wasn't able to find a number for them. |
