Title: Decat & EML
Post by: Weston on September 09, 2011, 09:54:34 pm

Will a decat cause the engine management light to come on? I have an R-Tech stage 1 remap, not sure if that makes any difference? I'm guessing it will

Can be mapped out.  emissions light from lambda sensor 2 may fire a fault due to outside parameters  :happy2:

As much as I'd love to the insurance won't allow any more mods  :fighting:

I don't think you get all the benefits of the decat without going to stage 2 software, and don't forget it will be an MOT failure.  :rolleye:

And tbh, based on your list of modifications I don't think stage 2 will cost much more, if anything.    :pomppomp:
