This part is removed from and designed to fit the Chevrolet Spark (M300 Generation) 5-Door Hatchback (2010-2015). Please match your vehicle shape visually with the reference photo below to ensure correct ordering.
Item Description: Lambda / O2 Sensor
Part: Oxygen (Lambda) Sensor Probe
Condition: Fully tested, fully functional used part.
Material Construction: High-grade Zirconium dioxide ceramic body, platinum electrodes, and stainless steel housing with high-temperature thermal wire insulation.
Where is this part fitted & what does it do?
The Oxygen (Lambda) sensor is fitted directly into your vehicle's exhaust system. The primary/upstream sensor sits in the exhaust manifold before the catalytic converter, while the secondary/downstream sensor sits just after it. It continuously measures the oxygen levels in the exhaust gases and sends real-time electrical signals to the Engine Control Unit (ECU) to perfectly balance the air/fuel mixture.
Symptoms of a Faulty Lambda Sensor:
- Illuminated Check Engine Light (CEL) on the dashboard.
- Significantly reduced fuel efficiency (high fuel consumption).
- Rough engine idling or engine misfires.
- Strong smell of fuel from the exhaust.
- Failure to pass MOT emissions testing.
Why replace with a verified original part?
Cheap aftermarket electrical sensors frequently fail to provide the exact voltage curve your ECU expects, leading to recurring engine lights and poor running. By purchasing a verified, original factory-fitted part, you guarantee seamless communication with your vehicle's computer. Plus, buying premium used parts can save you up to 70% compared to main dealer prices!

Fitting Instructions & Labor Calculator
Estimated Repair Time: 30 - 45 Minutes
Required Tools:
- 22mm (7/8") specialized O2 Sensor Socket (slotted)
- 3/8" or 1/2" Ratchet and breaker bar
- Penetrating fluid (e.g., WD-40)
- Copper grease / anti-seize (for the threads on installation)
Brief Instructions: Spray the old sensor threads with penetrating oil when the exhaust is warm (NOT hot) and let it soak. Disconnect the electrical block connector. Use the slotted socket to break the old sensor loose. Apply a tiny amount of anti-seize strictly to the threads of the replacement sensor (keep away from the tip!). Tighten to manufacturer torque specs and reconnect the plug. Clear any stored ECU fault codes.
