I need to remove my post cat lambda from my factory cat in preparation for fitting a 3" system. Can anyone confirm the size of socket I need?
Thanks
Thanks
Lambda's are 22mm... a normal socket won't work for what will be obvious reasons... I normally use a 22mm spanner but you can get a special socket designed to remove lambda sensors (google lambda socket)...
Just be aware that lambda sensors tend to be very corroded in and its worth spending a few days leading up to its removal spraying it in WD40...
tbh if you are fitting a 3" (decat assumedly) system you would be better off just unplugging the sensor and leaving it off altogether... just get it coded out in the map...
I would also leave trying to remove the sensor until you have got the exhaust out if you still plan to reuse it as it will be easier to remove off the car

I have a pipewerx dp & dc with a miltek system and its knocks....not sure how to stop it TBHCar is now booked in to get the exhaust sorted, the current system is a 3" one but it knocks a bit, has a decat and in my eyes, isn't the best workman ship I have seen as it all hangs quite low.
The initial plan was to refit a standard system but looking at the state of the downpipe and cat, plus the need for a cat to backbox section making up I decided that the time, effort and cost involved didn't make sense to fit 20 year old exhaust components.
Decided to bite the bullet and go with a 3" Pipewerx and sports cat, i'm retaining my Miltek backbox. Booked in for August so a bit of a wait but i'm sure it will be worth it.

Yes many years ago and pretty much solid engine mountsOh no, that isn't good. Have you upgraded your dogbone bush?
That was my understanding too but that doesn't appear to be the case. Now I'm not sure if I need shift the engine about to stop it, I haven't had a good read up yet. All I know is its extremely tight for space in this area.Crikey the, whole reason I decided to go with the Pipewerx was the assumption that it didn't knock.
Yes mate, they are only 40 minutes away so they'll have it for two days and then hopefully I will have a nice sounding, non knocking exhaustAre you taking it to pipewrex to get it fitted?
let me know how you get onYes mate, they are only 40 minutes away so they'll have it for two days and then hopefully I will have a nice sounding, non knocking exhaust
