Highly unlikely Neil. Also a bad lambda sensor should give a fault code on vcds scanning.
Pikey Motorsports:
ive had it on a few tuned 2.0 tfsi usually when pulling upto a stop

I was thinking that too matey :happy2: Just trying to rule things out, anyone have a approx. price of a new one...
Also found out what the smell was when the heaters were on, some grease on my engine block :confused: all cleaned of and smelling fresh again ! :smiley:
So that's one problem down.... :star:

Yes matey, that's exactly when mine happens, when the car is coming down of boost, not even from when an extremely large amount of boost has been given, just a blip, if I hold the clutch down when coming to a stop, that's when the rev drop/bounce, then the revs must drop to a degree where it stalls or cuts power...
Any idea, what caused it Pikey?

New one is around £150 from VW.
ECP do the same one, a Bosch for 134 notes.

The difference between the two is?
just the brand name?
