Just tried to fit new sensors to my 3.4 C4. On removal the threads stripped on both sensors and cats.
I am sure i am not the first person to do this so is there any solution out there to rectify the problem.
I have looked at used replacements on ebay but all are fitted with sensors. if i buy and try to fit my new sensors i may strip the threads again so back to square 1. I could try to get vendors to take out the sensors and guarantee the thread is OK but i am sure most would refuse.
Next option is to weld up and recut thread but would need a special tap to do this.
Does anyone out there supply new sockets that i can weld on after cutting off the old ones.
Are there any other options?
