Hi All,
So after having no codes on my car I had 2 new ones!! I was driving on the motorway just cruising at 65ish and the EML came on. No issues with driveability so carried on to my exit and then stopped and read the codes. I had two related to the cat performance.
I appreciate there is not much to go on but I am pondering the possibility that going from a decat to a sports cat has meant that the car isn't really working out the emissions properly and when on the motorway either the cat became blocked or the ECU got confused and threw the code.
Since resetting I have had no issue with the EML coming back on but then I haven't been on a motorway. Open to thoughts and opinions really as to whether putting the cat on will cause such an issue? I still have the decat so I could put that back on and see if that resolves it, I never had any issues on the motorway with the decat on so I do feel that its linked, but I have also since replaced the upstream o2 sensor as well.
Cheers
