What is a universal sensor?
The word “universal” is a misnomer – there is no such thing as a truly universal sensor that will fit any vehicle. All lambda sensors need to be tailored to fit the car, even when they come as a universal fitment. Lambdapower now supplies universal type sensors. We have a choice of about twelve “universal” lambdas to choose from. The type that makes a closest match to the specifications of the original part will be supplied. If no close match is available, then the only option is using an OE type. Lambdapower’s technical spec sheets and years of experience tell us which sensors will work in which vehicles. A plain lambda sensor advertised as “universal” cannot possibly cover all potential vehicles it might be fitted into, you need advice first as to which sensor is suitable for your vehicle. Obtaining an OE spec sensor removes the guesswork, but there may be certain circumstances where a universal type is acceptable, for example where the resale value of the car does not justify fittin
