Laser NOx Sensor Tap Set - M20x1.5 & M22x1.5

This set is designed for NOx sensors on vehicles like Ford EcoBlue, Mercedes-Benz, and Vauxhall/Opel, featuring M20x1.5 and M22x1.5 threads. Always check your vehicle's specifications.

The Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating increases the hardness and wear resistance of the tap, extending its service life and improving its cutting performance.

Axle grease lubricates the tap, reduces friction, and, most importantly, traps metal shavings in the tap's flutes. This prevents debris from entering the exhaust system and ensures cleaner threads.

No, this set is specifically for NOx sensors. For Ford fuel vaporiser applications, you need Laser Part No. 8332.

Wipe away all grease and metal debris immediately after use. A cleaning solvent may be helpful. Store in a dry place to prevent rust.

The set includes taps for M20x1.5 and M22x1.5 threads.

Each tap in the set has a total length of 48mm.

Ensure you are using sufficient axle grease. Withdraw the tap slightly (counter-clockwise) to clear debris. Check that the threads in the port are not excessively damaged or cross-threaded before attempting to tap.

Ensure you are using a quality axle grease and applying it liberally to the tap. Clean the tap flutes thoroughly; they may be clogged. Make sure you are withdrawing the tap periodically to allow debris to exit.

Verify you are using the correct tap size for the thread. Ensure the tap is inserted straight and not at an angle. The threads in the port may be too damaged for this tap to repair effectively.

Ensure proper lubrication with axle grease. Avoid forcing the tap. The material of the threaded port might be exceptionally hard, or the tap may have been used inappropriately on incorrect materials.
