exhaust light still on after vagcom
« on: May 21, 2011, 02:06:00 pm »
hi guys
as some of you aware my car dropped into lip mode recently and ended up costing over 600 notes for throttle sensors-after it was reset by an independant-the exhaust management light came back on.
i went to a local vag workshop and he cleared the code,BUT saying he expected it to come back on as he thinks he was hearing the cat honeycomb stuff(my terminology not his lol) damaged inside- the code says the cat is working below effeciency and i was led to believe that was just cos i now have a 3"DP going into an r32 sports catback system.
can anyone help me out here- the light came back on 4hrs later

do i just need to go stage2 and it will clear?
or do i get an exhaust place to check out the system first?
or just both and give the bank manager a relapse?
