Ford Galaxy Lpg Covnertions

[geduk]

Hi Group

 

would have done a search on this my self but I cant seam to search at the moment

 

I have just got a 98 Ford Galaxy with LPG Convertion Just a week today on tuseday night the Exhust started blowing a quick look told me the pasenger side mounting on the CAT was no longer conected to the exhust leaving a nice hole and a monving arm in mid air.

 

I think ok I had a look at it on sat and it seamed ok so must be just bad look..

 

so I take the car to a exhust repair center say replace me cat and they say ur we can but to also need the bit infront of the cat (bit with the lamber sensor) oh and your lamber sensor has been haked up so we will not replace the cat without a disclamer to say you dont get a garantee, and by the way the bolt in the head have been snaped of so that needs sorting as well oh and by the way sir you been ripped of big time

 

fantastic I think!

 

 

So my question is this, dose any one know if the lamber sensor on an LPG convertion would need to be hacked tuse meaning that ive not quite been ripped of?

 

Thanks

yes they cut into the connection for the sensor, so no you havent been screwed but the fitter is talking out his arse, tell him to sit down and explain why an alteration to the wires to a sensor will void the warrenty on the cat?

[chazy]

a lot of the none genuine sensors we used to fitt involved cutting into the connection to reuse the old plug

 

as long as soldered and covered properly do the same job and last just as long

 

90% of cars out there that have had a none genuine sensor have this done to them

 

try another garage like you say looks like there trying to rip you off :lol:

this could be down to where the installers cut into the coolant pipes to feed the vapouriser? or your stats gone?
