Hi guys,

as some of you know i have got a little light shouting spend some money on me on my car - *Engine Warning Light*

i ran a Dyanostic test on it last night and we erased the code and then turn the car on and the light was still on - bit confused ? ?

Code/Problem

Code : P0420

Problem : Catalyst Efficiency below threshold Bank 1

Does anybody know what this means as it makes no sence to me ? Shocked

Cheers

Jamie

Cat is f****d thru doing too many short journeys, take it out and give it some hammer. If it still doesn't clear, you need a new cat

Shut it u stupid little f**k, what's the point in posting in all my treads being such a c***? Least I can afford a gti180, and to get the cam belt done!

So apparently everyone knows my financial situation? If I wanted a 180 I would have bought a 180 simples Smile
