csa Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Following this thread: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=190798 Can anyone tell me if it’s possible to clean the AEM Wideband sensor, or do I have to buy a new one. Will this one from Thor fit the AEM plug? http://www.thor-racing.co.uk/Wideband_UEGO_Sensor_AEM-LSU42_AEM.asp (can't remember how the plug looks and I'm at work just now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonus_2000 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Yes done the lemon trick myself. Just cut it in half and bury the end of the sensor in it. Leave about half hour, and should be clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csa Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 I will buy a new one, but would like to see if things changes after a "cleaning". If they do I'm sure it's the sensor, if not...then welll I dont know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Wideband sensors work in a wholly different fashion to narrowbands. They also have a shorter lifespan. You may physically clean the metal but the internals still won't work correctly. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
