RS Clio Cup172
Hi everyone, I have been searching and checking symptons but nothing quite matches so far.
My 172 cup has been mine its whole life and is now on 93,000 miles.
Its only mod is a ktec silenced exhaust system from the cat back fitted 4/5 years ago.
Yesterday as I was going 50mph on motorway the emissions light flashed on, then cleared, this happened every 3 miles. I noticed the car also especially in second gear was no longer smooth but 3rd 4th and 5th gears ok. Anything above 25mph really.
Their is a distinct new smell as well - metallic. My grandads honda civic had similar symptoms and it turned out it was the catalytic converter.
It is booked into the garage on Friday but if I can get any more ideas that would be great. If it is a cat, who is the best aftermarket?
It starts first time and idles smooth and as usual.
The plugs, oil were done early autumn.
I cannot smell any fuel leaking at all.
Many thanks.
Mitch
