Lambda lights frequently come on as a result of vacuum leaks, most definitely worth a check. The turbo ones do go but can be very hard to view properly due to access.

Very easy to check and even replace yourself, luckily. Vacuum diagrams are widely available with a quick Google, then all you need to do is follow those checking the condition of the lines. If bad, buy new vacuum tubing and replace it

Try & borrow a smoke machine , it will very very quickly demonstrate where & if a leak or leaks are there . An LED torch is very useful to find the smallest whiffs of smoke
