HELP! Air sensor probe has sheared off!

Hi Ive got a 2005 freelander td4 and after trying to tightened my turbo hoses have accidentally overtightened my air sensor causing it to shear off.

To add fuel to the fire, I'm in Brittany at the moment. Can I drive with it like this? Can the rac do a temp fix? Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Help!!!

How is it driving ? Just try your hardest to ensure none or as little as possible air can enter the broken union.

You can drive ok with the sensor disconnected electrically

If it is not airtight then you'll be loosing boost and potential for black smoke and loss of power

Will I lose oil out of the small hole that the probe wires are coming out of?

No, it's an air flow sensor and no oil should be in that part of the system.

Just seal it as well as possible using insulating tape etc.

Many thanks guys, still tempted to take it to the local garage to see how long a replacement part will be to 'improve' the driving for the rest of the holiday.

Cheers

I always carry gaffer tape it is very useful especially for things like this

If Jaffa tape don't fix it your not using enough Jaffa tape

Super glue
