Just had the engine and DSG re-mapped so the warning light was reset, a day later it came back on and the garage say it's the second lambda probe registering a problem. Their suspicion is that the sports cat is not efficient enough to clean the gases to the required levels and hence the error, talked to Japparts ( Jap Parts, 120 Bark Street, Bolton, UK, Lancashire, BL1 2AX ) who supplied the downpipe and they say it's not something they're aware of and can replace the pipe within the 6 month warranty they give. Seemingly the second probe can be disabled so it doesn't actually provide readings to the management system, but not been told if this will cause more issues and whether the car will fail the MoT in a months' time.
Dilemna now is whether to wait for the MoT and see if it fails, then get it replaced under warranty and cross fingers the new one does the job, or to cut my losses and stump up for a full Milltek or BCS system.
I've seen others in the forum fitting these cheap downpipes and didn't notice anyone having similar issues, any guidance or advice on how to proceed ?
Thanks, Tom.
