not actually when they are totally gone but not quite working well.
so mine is quite far from a change then as I have just covered 42k miles...
just thought it might need a change cos of the somewhat bad mpg I am getting... :/
btw thanks for the reply mate

yep i have bad mpg too, vagcom told me i had a faulty front lambda, changed it and still getting bad mpg, havent got a clue what it is.
with a lambda i heard it either works or it doesnt so you would only need to change it once it becomes faulty.
