Its advanced construction and robust design make it an ideal choice for automotive applications that demand reliability, accuracy, and long service life.

Key Functional Characteristics

• Type: Single exhaust lambda sensor (O₂ probe)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40 °C to +250 °C, ensuring stable performance in extreme driving conditions.
• Signal Output: Standard 0.1–0.9 V voltage signal compatible with most engine control units (ECUs).
• Response Time: Rapid response (≤ 150 ms) for accurate real‑time feedback to the ECU.
• Durability: Constructed from high‑grade ceramic and stainless steel, providing resistance against corrosion, vibration, and thermal cycling.
• Installation: Pre‑threaded (prégraissé) mounting for quick, secure fitment on a wide range of vehicle models.

Compatibility Overview

The Vemo V22-76-0001 is engineered to fit seamlessly into numerous automotive platforms. Its versatile design allows it to replace or upgrade lambda sensors in the following vehicle families:

• Peugeot & Citroën – models such as C2, C3, C4, C5, C8, SAXO, and various engine codes (e.g., 16289V, 1628HT).
• Volkswagen Group – including the Berlingo series (C2–C5) with specific model numbers like 1007, 106, 206, 207, 306, 307, and 406.
• Other European Brands – compatible with a range of OEM lambda sensor specifications across multiple manufacturers.

Installation & Calibration Procedure

1. Preparation: Ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the battery to prevent accidental electrical discharge.
2. Removal of Old Sensor: Use a suitable socket or wrench to unscrew the existing lambda sensor. Carefully detach any wiring harnesses, noting their orientation for re‑installation.
3. Mounting the Vemo V22-76-0001: Align the pre‑threaded tip with the exhaust manifold or catalytic converter outlet. Tighten securely to avoid leaks.
4. Wiring Connection: Connect the sensor’s electrical connector, ensuring a firm fit and correct polarity.
5. Reboot ECU: Reconnect the battery and start the engine. Allow it to reach operating temperature; the ECU will automatically calibrate the new sensor based on voltage output.
6. Verification: Use an OBD‑II scanner or diagnostic tool to confirm that the lambda sensor is functioning within expected parameters (voltage range, response time).

Performance Benefits

• Enhanced Fuel Efficiency: Accurate air‑fuel ratio monitoring leads to optimal combustion, reducing fuel consumption.
• Reduced Emissions: Precise lambda readings help maintain the catalytic converter’s efficiency, lowering harmful exhaust gases.
• Long-Term Reliability: The sensor’s robust construction resists common failure modes such as corrosion and thermal fatigue.
• Easy Integration: Standard connector design and pre‑threaded mounting simplify installation across a wide array of vehicles.
