Mine is on and the fault is Lambda sensor 2 (post cat)    About £150

[scott84]

So it obviously wont cause any damage if i dont fix it straight away if your driving with it on?! Is this all it would be or possibility of something else?

Thanks for the reply

I asked a couple of people and being Post cat it's more of a 'checking' sensor to bring on the light and was advised it wouldn't do any damage.  Ordering on on pay day as I have a new DP to fit too.

Best to get a VCDs / fault scan to be sure / safe mate as it may be sensor one or a faulty Cat

Even more money for the scan!!!! Argghhh. Already got to book in for a minor service and cambelt and waterpump!!!

You should be more concerned if you nanny the car, driving it hard is the GTI way
