Anyone out there know the location of lambda number 2 sensor? I assumed it was the one furthest from the engine but the sensor I have received through the post has shorter wiring length than expected.
Are the actual sensors (1 and 2) the same?

Knowing a bit of the context would help, like the year and what makes you think it needs one?
Mail-order parts are frequently disappointing; but sensor 2 is the post-cat sensor.
Whether they are the same is something only the designer would know.

3 separate requests asking for year of vehicle and engine details to be included in the subject header, but none forthcoming.

Sorry folks. 2002 model, 1300 engine (now added). A "light" came on my wife had the car diagnosed at the Suzuki garage. Paid £10 but she felt unwilling to pay £150 for a new sensor and fitting.
Thanks for the advice that No2 is post cat.

Only £10 for diagnosis has to be a record. I'd have liked to know what code they found; apart from their heater circuits, post-cat sensors rarely fail.
£150 to supply and fit is quite cheap too; quality sensors aren't cheap.

£10 is what she told me. I don't know what code they found.
The car behaved quite normally. It didn't appear to be running rich or weak.
The latest is I have fitted the new sensor but the "engine light" is still on. Presumably I shall have to reset it by getting the codes read or by perhaps disconnecting and reconnecting the battery or perhaps, as you suspect, it may be nothing to do with the sensor.

Was that a new, genuine Suzuki, sensor? Japanese ECUs can tell the difference. [Which is how Honda get away with charging £300 for one....]
The post-cat sensor has virtually no effect on the fuelling - it's there to monitor the cat.
