Lambda probe protections - BMW R1300GS | Wunderlich

Lambda sensors play a vital role in managing the engine performance of your BMW R 1300 GS . They transmit crucial information to the engine control unit, influencing the composition of the air-fuel mixture, the ignition timing , and other parameters. Failure of lambda sensors, often caused by impacts or mechanical damage, can lead to reduced performance, increased fuel consumption and increased pollutant emissions. This is why it is imperative to protect effectively.

The Wunderlich lambda sensor guard provides a robust barrier against debris, branches and flying stones, while allowing efficient heat dissipation through its specially designed openings. It reduces the accumulation of dirt on the sensors, ensuring their proper functioning and service life.

Lambda Sensor Protection: Prevent Damage to Ensure Engine Performance

Lambda sensors play a crucial role in providing essential parameters for engine management. Once damaged or destroyed, they cannot be repaired, but only replaced . It is therefore advisable to effectively protect these sensors and their operation.

These sensors transmit important data from the exhaust system to the engine control unit, which then adjusts the amount of fuel injected (mixture composition) and the ignition timing, taking into account this parameter as well as other factors (such as the state of charge, throttle position and camshaft setting). Damage to the sensors or their signal cables can result in incorrect values , thus causing erroneous control signals that can adversely affect the performance and efficiency of the engine. Inefficient fuel combustion can result in:

• a loss of power;
• engine malfunctions;
• higher fuel consumption;
• an increase in pollutant emissions.

The robust and efficient lambda probe protector covers the fragile probes mounted in the manifolds. exhaust pipes, as well as their cables, thus ensuring optimum mechanical protection . Made of 1.5 mm thick anodized aluminum, its precise design reinforces the rigidity of the assembly, while the multi-point fixing ensures effective protection. In addition, integrated openings prevent any accumulation of heat , and the shape is designed to integrate harmoniously into the layout of the engine.
