Polo GTi 2011 DSG Lambada Sensor
Discussion
Hi everyone Hope is all well with you lot,
I have a polo GTi 2011 DSG Auto
I have been told by 2 garages that my Lambada is faulty.
Garage 1 Thinks it’s the Lambda Sensor Won’t fix it until light comes back on, (They don’t wanna fix something that is not broken or the wrong part) so Reset all codes, Says car is perfectly safe to drive, Just pull over in safe spot if engine management light comes on then turn car off then back on (March 2021)
Garage 2 (Been using him for years) says won’t fix Lambda sensors unless I can get official VW part as after market parts not good for the car, But cleaned Lambada Sensor (During MOT/Service) and Said car is perfectly safe to drive, Just pull over in safe spot when engine management light comes on & turn engine off then back on (June 2021)
Last time Engine Management light come on (Until today) was late February this year, car been fine since
Drove over 120 Miles today, Engine light came on Car just after pulling out of services on M4 car felt fine so pulled over turned car off for a few mins & light went out after,
Is there anything to worry about?? Can’t get car looked at until at least Monday as need to use car at weekend,
What’s my best advice?

Don’t know the fault code forgot what the garages said but know it’s the Lambada Sensor,
And told me if & when the engine management light comes on to pull over & restart the car after a few mins then should be fine after that,
Been driving it today 60+ miles no issues what so ever,
Only happens on long journeys
Update light came back on today nearing bath but car ran fine but sounded a little off.
Hopefully I can get the car back home on Monday then I will have it looked at
