Are mk1 vts lambda sensors different to mk2 vts?

24th January 2011, 18:36

As title says, only asking as i have a mk1 vts engine in my vtr and i need a new lambda sensor and I've found one out of a 52 reg mk2 vts. Will it fit?

24th January 2011, 18:46

think it will mate, try it and find out lol

lol id like a more positive answer

24th January 2011, 21:36

Yes. Even if they connector is different, you can just swap it over.

24th January 2011, 21:39

Yup.. it'll fit mate as said connector might be different but swap it over jobs a good-un

i dont have a lambda sensor though so if it is wrong then i dont have a connector to splice on to it

According to NTK...

Mk.1 VTS:

Mk.2 VTS:

... I would make them fit

although for some reason, the lugs are on the opposite side. Similar enough to be compatible though any splicing going on.

thanks for that i think i'll just buy a new mk1 no point in buying a cheap second hand mk2 one if its not a straight fit lol like i said i don't have a mk1 sensor to swap the connectors over, i could just cut the lugs off and fit it but meh not worth it, ive got mot coming up so i suppose i should give it a good chance as possible with a new sensor lol

euro car parts/106 parts/ebay (as long as you get branded goods)/motor factors etc i might go down to my local factors tomorrow see how they are compared to ones i mentioned above, i wanna get a good one though so your looking in between £50-70, which is a piss take for a sensor lol i was getting the mk2 vts one for £15 posted but ill just splash out on a new one lol

Ebay : NGK Oxygen O2 Lambda Sensor Citroen Saxo 1.6 07.96->09.

Some Shop : NGK OZA660-EE23

.. And avoid the universal no brand ones. You might as well just not bother at all if you fit one of them. Bosch or NTK

I asked at Citroen Le Mans the other day and they want 200 + VAT for one - there seems to be a few on ebay at the moment but the lead doesn't really look long enough - although I've a MK2 VTS most of the bits are MK1 as she's a 2000 model (changeover year). The current lambda is well rusted into the manifold but not too bothered as I'm buying a Raceland Mani. However the place for the lambda on the Raceland is even further away from the connector than the OE item - so again, worried about lead length

when i fitted my 4-2-1 raceland when i had my vtr engine i had to re route the lambda sensor so it fitted but it did just about fit lol
