Decat Or Sports Cat
« on: 02 January 2014, 16:11 »
HI Guys....
Just been Given a De-cat for my Golf Mk4 Turbo....it has at the moment a standard system but what I was wondering was, if the De-cat went on would it bring up any lights on the dash...Or is it safer with the sports cat?
Cheers Guys  :smiley:

You can get o2 sensor spacers that can help stop you throwing up fault codes, I got a right angle one from ebay that seems to do the job.
