    How do I check if lambda sensors are working correctly. Also how much roughly would you pay for new ones

    Well my car is hesitating on acceleration, a bit like a flat spot. I've tried everything apart from looking at lambdas

    is it a vtr/s ? mk1 or mk2. Are you sure your Map sensor is ok? Sounds just like mine and turned out to be map sensor

    It's a mk2 furio. We changed map sensor and then it was fine. After a day of driving it is back to normal and still hesitates

    May have just figured the problem. A hole in my exhaust just before the back box. Will this cause performance issues
