Confirmation before i go get this sorted

[Wiggz]

The above warning light ( orange bottom right ) is now a permanent fixture in the wiggz mobile. Also my car sounds like a scoobie but has the preformance of a scooter.
So anyway, my friend says this will most likely be my cat, and the fact that its fucked... So a new cat is in order or a de-cat
Can you technical minded geezers out there tell me any different? Also anyone got a rough idea on how much this is going to cost me...?
Spankyou in advanced.

fudged cat would increse performance. it sounds like there a hole somewhere though, causing lack of back pressure

Get a clip test done and see what the ECU fault is. Can get them done for about £20.

i was under the impression that if the cat had rotted from the inside all the crap would block the airflow and therefore make you loose power?

if its got to that stage yes, but pretty sure you would have noticed before it got that bad. I'm going with a hole in the exhaust, either in the cat or before it

i had a powerflow cat back system fitted just last week, i canthelp but think they have something to do with this

 

[theduck]

they more than likely could do, if they havent sealed the joins properly it could be blowing like a biatch

i had this fault the other week and assumed it was due to my sports cat.

took the car down to my local renault specialist who performed a CLiP test and it was diagnosed as a miss-fire (caused by a knackered spark-plug)

shoved a new set of plugs in, and then resetted the ecu and its as good as new

put your seatbelt on
decat it.

Mate, mine done the same last summer, I needed a new wiring loom! Sounds like the exact same fault.

 

[Wiggz]

Wiring loom ! :O

 

[Racingblue182]

£300 it was too, maybe a diff problem with urs tho!

 

[Wiggz]

F00kin better be !

spark plugs

go get it CLiP'd to diagnose the fault. if its mechanically standard and within warranty its covered FOC. otherwise it'll be 70ish from renault, or 25 from independent garage.
