Daviddavid 0 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Hello everyone! I have been a proud owner of a 2006 Citroen C1 for over a year now, but lately I have had some issues with it. The lambda value was very high, up to 1,5. After plugging up a leak I found in the exhaust system with some paste it went down to 1,05. I could hear that my temporary fix started leaking again, and plugged it up with paste and muffler tape. When doing a check-up the lambda value had gone down to 0,95 instead, and the CO value while idling had gone up really high although this was not an issue before. I am at a loss at what the issue could be, if anyone have any suggestions I would appreciate it very much! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paul.h 319 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 There are 2 lambda sensors, one before and one after the exhaust catalytic converter. Are your values for the one before ? The one before should switch frequently around 1.0 as it adjusts the fuel and the one after should stay the same if the cat is working. A high CO value suggests a rich fuel/air mixture, you could check if the air filter needs replacing.
