thats what i did when i de-cated my vts just unplug it

You can but the sleeve not only tries to stop the light coming on but also protects the senser from the elements

would you need to do this with a W reg mk2 (cat underneath) or would it be a straight swap as with a mk1 ?

i would think its a straight swop depending on the poistion of ur oil filter. if its pointing up then no, but if its pointing towards the front of the car then yes

ye exactly right m8. u need it to be protected in a sleeve so it only reads clean air then the engine management light should not come on, mine hasnt

just had a rolling road day today and thought why not il put the furio on. got 90.6 bhp pretty impressive for a 1.4 8v yer? with a raceland 4-2-1, pipercross viper induction kit, and a de-cat straight through system with twin exhausts.

Going to heat wrap manifold and alter cold air feed and get red of the twin exhausts and should make a big difference according to the guy who did it, as my engine bay was getting so hot.

Anyway very happy with that bhp

not bad result there mate

Jagztorious · 16th September 2007, 23:38

marc_safc · 17th September 2007, 09:45

You put the top sensor into a sleeve and put the bottom one into the manifold!

FinchysSaxo · 17th September 2007, 22:09

yep just like the man said lol.

ye i know i was bricking it as was with alot of high powered cars, but as soon as got my first reading i was like 'o wow thats made my day and week' lol. Alot of people were impressed, i would recommend doing the mods i have done, hass hardly cost me much at all. cant wait till pay day to get to the magic 100bhp

steviet · 5th October 2007, 23:57

excellent guide here mate. would this be the same with moving the oil filter if i was to put a standard mark 1 manifold onto my mark 2? cheers

FinchysSaxo · 6th October 2007, 14:13

i would of fort so, but y would you want to do that m8?

JoeFurio · 6th October 2007, 14:28

great guide mate, just seems like such a pain in the arse to do! i thought it would be a case of unbolt old one, and then put the new one in its place lol

aslong as u make sure you have all the parts m8 its a piece of piss honestly, im no mechanic lol i fort fuk it il give it a go and it went fine havent had any problems yet. looks awesome aswel after a while...

you can see the lambda sensor on the far right attached to battery base, in my home made copper tube

Saxo_Steve · 8th October 2007, 22:09

This might be a stupid question but does the M10 screw have to be a certain length and can it have a head on it, or does it need to be one like the one pictured in the guide?

FinchysSaxo · 8th October 2007, 22:15

not a stupid question m8.... ummm i think around a inch will do give or take a bit, cant remeber the exact length. just cut the head off and saw into it to make a slit so you can use a screw driver as it needs to be flush for the mk1 oil filter to fit on, hope that helps

marc_safc · 8th October 2007, 22:19

u just need an m10 bolt well thats all i used and it was fine was about an inch or so long.... i actually thort the bolt head would of got in the way so i cut bolt head off and cut a slit in for a screwdriver but when i got it all off there was plenty of room so just used a normal m10 bolt

Saxo_Steve · 8th October 2007, 22:22

Ok thanks! I can try it with the bolt head on and if it doesn't fit I'll get the saw out!
