So i have put my Cat back on the SC Rallye ready for its MOT and its now running a bit odd. Basically sealed it all up nicely so no leaks and all looks good. Took it for a nice drive and it feels really restricted, gets up to about 5k before stuttering. When it idles it also stutters every now and then  Any ideas as to whats going on? It didnt do it last time i changed it over for the MOT  Cheers guys ________________________________________ Just Drive It |

You can't use exhaust paste before the cat but after will be fine. ________________________________________ S Reg Diablo standardsSpec SORNEDR Reg Nile standard spec written off then repaired X Reg Astor in need of TLC R Reg Nile to restore Set of Lions to fit. |

If ongoing then it probably means the lambda is on the way out i would say. ________________________________________ Just Drive It |

tbh i wouldnt worry too much tom, they wont take it to 5k for emissions so wont invoke stuttering, just get it hot and to mot station, then take it off again when your home  Hopefully it will go back to normal |

Well thanks to the top guys at Pug they scraped it though the emissions test Passed on everything else  Its amazing as once again i have done nothing to the car beforehand STill got issues with the stuttering but im pretty sure its something to do with a boost leak somewhere rather than the exhaust, will investigate this week.

If ongoing then it probably means the lambda is on the way out i would say. well I started noticing it since I put the cat back on... pug did a full diagnostics and didnt see/find anything (only I noticed that the pre-ignition is rather 'unstable') hopefully you'll get yours sorted  let us know what was/is causing it if you do! ________________________________________ Team WheelwhoreTeam Limited Edition Astor 306 Francorchamps RIP Virtual Blue 208 GTi quote: I this place.

Well i checked for boost leaks and that was all good, also replaced the cat with the decat so now its back to pre MOT spec, did it work?No Still sounds like a messasmit and drives like a car with the shits Im at the point where im going to start having to go through a massive checklist of possible things it could be but before i do its dawned on me that maybe Pug did something to the software while it was in for the orginal MOT (failed on exhaust emissions) as the troubles only started after that Anyone got an idea if Pug might have played with something as part of their MOT procedure?Cheers all :thumsup Oh and cheers for the heads up Mabs but i wasnt around this morning sadly ________________________________________ Just Drive It |
