Problem with high flow cat on my 182

[chrisn01]

Hiya Guys/Gals

Need a bit of advice. My 182 has been playing up a bit lately and had a probelm with the engine management light coming on and then the car runs crap. It was coming up with a lamba sensor fault and had the lamba sensors replaced under warrenty. The only problem is, the same fault keeps coming back every few days and the light seems to come on when I boot it. Renault have not told me its down to my High Flow janspeed cat and if I put the old one back on, it should sort out the problem.

I was just wondering if there was a way around it as the cat has only covered 5k and would preferabaly like to keep it on. Iv seen decats for sale and was wondering how people buying these get arround it or if there was a way of stoping the management light coming on?

Cheers fellas

There no fix yet in production for the 182 you need to makes a veriable voltage thingie to tell the second sensor the readings are that the cars fine.
16v_jon has the only one which would work.

Do you get a rough idle?

It seems to idle fine, iv noticed that it using loads more fuel now. I Put two bottles of cataclean in the tank and the light seemed turned it self off the next day, so hopefuly that might have done the trick.

Saw this on Ebay as well and wondered if this might sort the problem out as have a funnny feeling my light is going to come back on again:
