#1: catalytic converter fault warning Author: adriano, Posted: Sun Dec 30, 2012 4:07 pm ---- Hello,
I was wondering if anyone else on here has the same issue concerning the catalytic converter warning with their 206 GTI.
My gf has a 52-plate 03 model which I think is the 150bhp model. She's had it for 4 years and all along she's had a recurring issue when the car is coldish. After about 300 metres the car beeps and a catalytic converter fault warning comes on the display. This has been happening for the entire period of ownership but the car has continued to drive fine.
A quick Google finds a few results for CC models (presumably the same engine) where owner have paid hundreds to have work done with the warning persisting. Just wondering if anyone else has had the same warning?
Thanks,
Adrian

That would bring up an engine warning light though. Did on mine. Best thing would be to see if there are any faults stored.
