3inch down pipe

[dai cupra]

ive orderd my 3inch down pipe and now i heard that they throw up lights on dash can anyone tell me if its true as ive payed for it and waiting for delivery. the pipe has two holes for lamda senssors thanks lads

 

[cupramillo]

Is it a decat or a sports cat? What brand is it?

 

[dai cupra]

its a decat mate i think

 

[PhilW]

You'll get an engine management light unless its mapped out, like revo stage 2 etc...

 

[dai cupra]

wot about if u orderd with cat its too late i no just curiouslol

 

[M87NER]

be fine with sports cat....

 

[p34ch3y]

whare is it from mate / what make?

custom one or something

 

[jam666999]

If its a Decat you can use a wayne angle block to cancel it out, very good bit of kit.

 

[p34ch3y]

or just extend the threads.............

moveing it back out of direct flow

I have said this quite a number of times before, but this isn't correct Phil.

As peachy said, IF you do get a code (which I have not seen happen yet, on my car or the other people I know that have one) then you can just weld a nut on top of the lambda hole, and screw the lambda sensor in that so it sits out of the flow.

A Decat will fail your MOT yes, but not give an engine management light

 

[dai cupra]

ok cheers guys fair play

 

[jam666999]

Im afraid a fair few ppl including myself, have codes thrown up. As mentioned above unless you have Revo Stage 2 you need some sort of spacer. The Wayne angle block is designed so that it screws into the hole for the second the lambda sensor and then the sensor screws into this

I do not hav a map and have driven it fine for over a year. Guess this is one of these things just like how people say the Golf GTI tip causes faults (which I have without codes) and the Golf/TT decat downpipe not fitting (which I also have fitted)

 

[dai cupra]

cheers reuvers

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

im running Ths Leon downpipe and de-cat and havent had a code for nearly a year now

 

[Reuvers]

my point exactly


welcome dai. But mind, I'm not saying its not possible to get a code. You might....but then weld a nut like I said.

Actually this is correct but it is map, ecu and sensor dependant. Seen alot of 1.8ts with decat throw codes for the second lambda.

i know ppl who have had codes. like rhysox. i dont get code but im on stg2 revo. and rhys is now on custom code st2 custom which he doesnt get a code now

but then you run a cordoba not an ibiza
same engine but then so much different.
