CEL due to Lambda fault on R36

[kamold]

Hi all,
A colleague's R36 switched its check engine light on this morning.
Scan showed the following fault:

I presume this might just indicate a faulty lambda sensor and it should be replaced?

Had the same thing go on my R36. O2 sensor was replaced under warranty

yep.. as its the heater circuit...replace the probe mate.. thats the easier one to change aswell...more space on the gearbox side...VDUB...

Thanks for the replies guys.

vdubmotorworx, just as a ballpark figure what would you charge to replace one of these? Just want to make sure he doesn't get too ripped off.

depends on where you go but 30 mins for that probe should be about right as its the easiest of the 4...most places will want to diagnose it before fitting on your request...1hr labour cost I would say depending on where you go would vary on price...back street / dealership....
