faulty lamda/o2 probe?

been driving my fd3s to work this week which is about 12mile round trip and then prob another 10miles pissin about etc,

now this is costin me £20 a day! petrol being at round about £1.00 per litre

i know theses beasts are thursty be jees this is too much!!

now i was reading in another thread about irtatic idel, which i have and how this was caused by a faulty o2 probe,

i first thought my 2nd turbo wasnt kicking in when i hammer it, if i feather it through tho it deffo kicks in l

exhuast emmisions are a joke on it

so im thinking could i have a faulty o2 probe?

where bouts on the exhuast is it?

cheers
Will

Replace the o2 sensor, it's located in the downpipe less than a foot downstream of the motor. It would be a good idea to replace the spark plugs and wires if they havent been done recently as well. All of that should really improve gas consumption.
