Lambda Sensor - Where is it situated?

Post by kelvingenders »

Guys, I have a 360 GLT B200EA. Can anyone tell me where the Lambda Sensor is located. Does it actually run one.

I've got a MkIII 360GLT ( 1986 ), and I don't think there is one, certainly no sensor or anything on the exhaust manifold....Catalytic converters weren't introduced until 1986.

Yes, look for the cylindrical item in line with the front door...if orignal will display it was made in England - original Volvo parts. It also sit in front of the Mid muffler. Hope this helps...still no lambda sensor....!!!! :360:

AFAIK only B200Fs had a lambda sensor. This is screwed into the exaust manifold.

I don't think so. EA's had this funny leak-prone EGR system, but no lambda.
