Mapping Issue or 3rd party ECU?

I may be able to knock a tool up of I cut a slot in and old socket and weld a bar to it. It would save a lot of bother getting these probes out- Ill see what I have laying around.

Wow. Don't know what to say, except thank you!

I must expand my skills, pretty sure being a DBA isn't really going to cut it after a nuclear apocalypse.

It needs a 17mm deep socket to go over the probe shank but I dont have a spare to butcher- but they are all of £3.80 on ebay, so Ive got one on order, and Ill cut the side out with an angle grinder to allow the cable to poke out. I dont think it will need welding.

I found when I made up said tool I had to bore out the socket enough to pass over the lambda casing,
When socket is in place I then used BIG mole grips to clamp the now split socket, and give it a tap with hammer,
Both were tight but came out ok.
I've been looking and I can't find the darn thing,, I'd send it on,,, I'm moving house and just can't think were I put it last year,,
If I find it by the morning I'll let you know,
I used a very old socket so cost now't.

Just in case it is of any help, I used a 17mm box spanner when removing my lambda sensors instead of a socket. I just removed the wires from the plastic connector and threaded them through, then inserted a bar to undo them.

That of course is the best answer...........

I am currently making a shopping list of stuff that I should add to my tool box! On the basis my tool box pretty much just has some spanners and regular sockets in it (and gaffer tape), the list is long.

Try one of these:

Professional quality, fantastic range of sockets and so on, including standard sockets, imperial and metric, deep sockets, six-sided sockets for those hard to shift nuts and bolts, hex driver sockets, alan key sockets, big sizes etc etc. Oh, and it has a full set of ratchet ended spanners which are worth most of the £125 on their own.

Second best Christmas present I have ever had.....but then, I chose it myself!! The quality is superb, being their professional range.

That is a nice set. Oddly enough, the spanners I have are from Halfords - http://www.halfords.com/motoring/garage-equipment/...

I went in needing one (to get the stepper out, ironically), and came out with 25! They were £50 at the time though.

Out of interest what was your favourite Christmas present ?

Just something unexpected that came up on Christmas morning.

Hahahahahah, thought so.
You've got some dry wit,

Well you can cut a 17mm deep socket down to make a tool, but I reckon it would not be a bad idea to slide a jubilee clip down over the socket after you fit it over the probe to help keep the socket walls from moving outward if the probe is tight.

Did you get to the bottom of your problem??
