I took the car for it's re-test today and have the MOT now. Bit gutted that the new MOT single sheet format includes the advisory stuff so the engine management warning is listed as well as "oil leak" (which they were unable to remember where when I asked them). There's no oil leak anywhere evident, I've had the car parked over a clean bit of cardboard since working on it to check for that and i've been all over the engine bay and underneith to check so I've no idea what that is. but anyway, I got a response from the company who sold the sensor but just got a basic installation guide back from them

 

1. CHECK ANY VACUM HOSES FOR SPLITS/LEAKS THIS CAN BE THE CAUSE OF SYMPTOMS

2. CLEAN INDUCTION SYSTEM SO THAT ITS, free of dirt/oil/debris

3. REPLACE AIR FILTER

4. Disconnect the battery then depress the brake pedal for 1 min (to drain system stored power)

5. Wait 15 minutes

6. FIT NEW UNIT

7. RECONNECT BATT

8. ** some vehicles will require OBD code reader to reset ECU and install part - please consult workshop

 

Battery was disconnected for weeks before changing the sensor and i took the airbox and pipes out, totally cleaned them and stuck in a new filter

 

What's the induction system? Is that the inlet of the meter? When I took the sensor out I checked around inside the meter to see if there was any dirt built up but all seemed ok so I just fitted the new sensor.

 

The error code is reset after the power is disconnected so it doesn't need to be reset via the ODBII. As far as I know it's generating a new error code as soon as you drive for a few seconds once it's been reset?
