Check the charcoal box? Mine caused that once

I ve already changed the charcoal canister due to me braking one of the plastic hoses on the top of canister raiden still had this problem it has gone now no codes when I changed the ect sensor recently Can this be right?

I was having the same issues and had the top Lambda Sensors Changed out and it still returns with the same issue, before i change the exhaust ones next was wondering does the charcoal box make any impact on that error?

 

[R32 Zee]

I couldn't tell you pal when I did brake hose on canister I did have a new code I'm sure but wasn't a lean code & once I replaced hose that code did not return

 

[raiden]

Think at the time I had issues the MAF was looked at as well

 

[R32 Zee]

I've also changed a maf still same code came up too lean on both banks although it was a euro's Bosch sensor & my pal owed me money & was at euro's otherwise I would of gone to vw or tps like I said have changed engine coolant sensor & now code has not returned funny that?

The reading off the ECT sensor is one of the parameters used to calculate the correct fuel/air mixture therefore if faulty there is the possibility of running too rich or too lean. It would also affect both banks.

Yeh bob thanks pal its just come in my head I was told & read a few posts regarding ect sensor so gave it a go & code has not returned should I change the 2nd sensor on the radiator same (part number) even though im not getting code now least I've got to the bottom of this matter fingers crossed been

 

[cuprabob]

As far as I know the one in the radiator is just for the radiator fan so will have no affect on how the car is running.

Did changing this sensor fix your lean faults? I'm having the same codes now and nothing obvious is wrong with the engine.
