Could this be a lambda issue?

Well it did turn out to be the lambda probe. Went for MoT yesterday and it failed on high emissions (0.5). The lambda passed but garage man said it was sluggish. New probe fitted and emissions passed & the car is running loads better with now plenty of pull at top end. Previously if you tried to hold the revs at a fast idle it would pulsate down & up slightly but now it holds steady. |

Could this be a lambda issue?
Might benefit someone else but another useful piece of info I came across
regarding the Audi VW digifant motors is a common problem with a dry solder joint in the ecu voltage supply relay (located under the steering wheel dash (part No. 165906381 & about £10 from main dealers). This causes misfires or cutting out problems. I read if the relay is black it's the unreliable one made in Malaysia (or somewhere) and best to change it for the more reliable bosch light grey colour relay.
