Had my car in today to Vx main dealer to check why my iddling is about 400 rpm when cold and hard to start (have to put in in N and slam it into drive while reving) to get the car off the mark. Had the eml light on a few days ago for about ten mins. Service lady rang to say that it is a broken RO 2 sensor (does anyone know what this is? all I know is that they want 255 quid to fix it!!!! >: I thought it was going to be the crank sensor

With my last post on my ecu unit saga and this I could have brought the very last omega 3.2 elite ever built with hardly any miles on it for the repair bills I am having

hmm, whilst there may be an o2 sensor problem, that doesn't tie in with symptoms.

what was the live data for coolant temp?

TB, I have not collected the car yet from them so don't have any further info. The dozy service girl just left me a message on my moby at 4pm leaving the message after I expressly told them to ring my land line as I have no signal what so ever at my house.

It may tie up though what you are saying about it being an o2 sensor though as a few days ago my independant garage ran a diagnostic on it (not tech 2) and they had a code 39 Oxygen sensor 1 - short to box fault! do you think this is what the service girl was meaning?

If so, and when I get the car back and get exactly what it is (will post on here) is that a big job and what price would I be expecting to pay and would it cost the 255 quid she said they want?

Any help would be muchly welcomed    Anyone

I'm unconvinced the o2 sensor is related to your problem - the system is open loop when cold, so in affect, ignores the o2 sensors until warmed up

Thanks TB, I have not got a clue what it is and but will probably have more info on Friday when I collect the car. will they give me the spec test sheet then or do I have to ask for it for them to give it to me?
