The Dreaded CEL!
Hey dudes,
Just looking for a bit of advice.
I had a comptech system fitted yesterday and the decat pipe from the g.b (Thank you Lucky77!)
I had also nabbed some of the spark plug anti fowlers and stuck them in the dect pipe.
So i out the car in to get the exhaust fitted. But at the time, i never mentioned to the guy about the anti fowlers, i just assumed that he would fit the O2 into them since they were already in the test pipe.
Som when i went to get the car back, i asked him if he had removed them, at first he didnt kno what i meant, and said he had removed nothing. sweet.
Exhaust is super duper and sounds just right for my needs
Happy chappy
(This was yesterday btw)
(And this bits today)
So i was going back to the shop today to pick up my CAT. And on the way over my CEL Came on
SO when i got to the shop i got out and checked the testpipe. No Anti Fowlers.
Then after explaining to the guy again he realised what i was talking about and handed to me
The moral: Always check, check and check again!
I should of checked the testpipe before driving away but didnt because it was peeing of rain, i just took his word for it.
Anyways,
The guy was kind enough to stick the car on the ram right there and then and put the fowlers in. But my CEL didnt go off right away.
Since having the system fitted yesterday ive only done three 15m journeys, and the CEL light only came on 5min before i had the thing fixed.
When will it go off?
Is there a fuse i can pull to reset it?
And is my O2 probabbly fried by now!?
Help!
Thanks!

If you get an o2 CEL, it will take about 70-80 miles to go off once corrected! Unless you reset the ECU.
