Hi, I put a de cat pipe on yesterday and had no problems. Today the engine management light came on? Could this be something to do with there being no cat? Or should I be worried.. :/
Thanks

 

Could be to do with the O2 sensor?

 

Have you fitted a cel fix?

 

Yeh I hope so, I got the garage next door to my work to fit it, I don't think he fitted a sensor back on, I never got a chance to talk to him about it. I'm just hoping its not actually the engine!

 

No I haven't, what's that?

 

Its basically just a bit of tube with thread in to bring the o2 sensor further out

 

Ok, so without a sensor it's telling the engine something isn't right.. Ill have to get the garage to sort it out on Monday, this is why I didn't want to do it myself. I'm meant to be going out in it tommorow do you think that's a good idea or is there a possibility it will go into limp mode or something!?

 

Im sure they put the sensor back in, probably just need to buy a cel fix and put it in between

Have a search for cel fix and you'll see what I mean

 

Ok I see, that looks easy enough. Ill take my chances tommorow then and get it sorted on Monday, hopefully the dreaded light disappears...
Thanks for your help guys much appreciated.

 

Every owner should have an ebay bluetooth code reader to check codes

You can also reset the light as well if its a code not to worry about.

It took a few weeks for my engine light to come on after fitting a decat. I had the cel (check engine light) fix as well but the later cars are more sensitive.
