Hi,

i was recommended to change the right lambda sensor on my 2000 996. It was reacting to slow.

Do i have to take care for sth. special when changing it ? Does it has to be prepared with anti-corrosion spray or will i be able to loosen it anyway ?

Should i change the left sensor for "spare" also ?

Thanks for any advice

Regards

Do not use any oil based sprays near any O2 sensors as the oils can damage them.

You will need a 19 mm box/open end wrench or a special O2 sensor socket with the slit for the wire.

Thanks, Loren.

Do you know if there has to be made any resets or adoptions to the DME when changing the sensors or does it not "realize" the new sensors ?

Worst case you disconnect the battery for 1 minute and re-adapt. But I think that will even be needed.
