    Default BMW E36 O2 Lambda Sensors

    Hi there gents!
    I have a E36 323 1996 which has been running a rich in fuel recently. I have Carsoft 6.5 and once connected I noted on LIVE DATA that the 2 O2 Lambda Sensors are reading quite erratic between 0.6 and 4.7 . Would this be the problem?. Both od the sensrs were recently replaced as part of a service however i believe they were replaced by cheapo onces and not the OEM.Any ideas fellas what the readings should be?
    thanks!!

    hi thanks for the reply. do you have experience of those cheapo NGKs?.
    That is what i put in the car.
    And would the reading be flying about all the place with the cheapos?

    Trouble is the Bosch ones are some ?140 each!!
