My 6 is overfuelling and failed it's MOT. Have replaced the Lambda sensor and still just as bad. Is it worth trying an ECU reset before I do anymore sensor testing? Its got a daft sports cat if that makes any difference?

not likely, the CO is massively high, the cat wont bring it down that far, check the green ecu temp sender.

Could be a combination of the more than one thing but I bet if you got a decent original cat emissions would come right down Thumbs up

The green sensor is next on my list as the cat is welded to the rest of the system- Its a Cobra sport made in situ type thing.
