Just wanted to post as I'm about to order a new front o2 sensor for my A2 1.4 petrol but there is a big difference in price between motor factors so am a little suspicious
All the same NGK sensor as far as I can tell

Autodoc £113
 
As long as it is the correct part then Autodoc would still be my choice. Personally never had a problem with a part from them. In this day and age you can find different suppliers sourcing their parts from all around the world. Now if you said just as an example the one currently fitted to you car was a NGK made in Spain and the ECP one was also made in Spain, and the Autodoc is an NGK made in Hungary, then that could possibly also contribute to price differences. If you are concerned then you could always enquire what Audi would charge you for one
 
Have been getting this fault code repeatedly either on my own OBD bluetooth phone app, a garage OBD scan and with a VCDS scan
Also has all the signs as it runs rough and rich, struggles to accelerate and occasionally the engine has stopped while idleing
 
I wonder if a smoke detection test would be your best bet?

If the code clears and does not instantly return on start up I would be a tad hesitant to fit one at those prices!

Genuine is the only option most diagnostic specialists would recommend, have you priced a genuine one?
 
I've been advised by @depronman to go for the NGK as they're likely to be oem fit
I'm happy to pay up to £200 if needed, euro car parts are extremely over priced on batteries and oil also, not sure who buys from them!

It's good that you're looking to get a new lambda sensor. However, I'd hold back fitting it until you have your engine properly sorted. If, as appears likely, it is burning excessive oil, your new sensor won't perform any better than the old one.

So -

1. Get the engine fixed.

2. Check the exhaust manifold and down for leaks.

3. Only then, fit the new sensor.
 
It has a small leak as the sump needs a re-seal but haven't come across anything to suggest it's burning oil yet
Will see if I can get someone to check the exhaust manifold before fitting anyway

Marks A2 passed the MoT last week. Emissions were OK, isn't that an indication that the engine is not in seriously bad health?
Mac.
 
Euro Car Parts is like DFS, or Dominos, or other constantly having a sale, 241 deals and such places.

You have to apply a deal or sale code to get a reasonable price on their stuff and I presume they hope you pop a couple of other not too cheap, not too expensive, bits in the basket too.

You also have to get whatever you're after in the basket and apply the code to see if it's worth it. Which is halfway to a sale and probably hope you'll just go 'ok, that's reasonable'.
