Catalytic Converter light came on today??
« on: 31 October 2011, 21:09 »
Just got on the M1 earlier today when the Cat light came on?? I was just sat in the middle lane doing a little over 70(ish). Going into the dealers tomorrow and have a service booked in on Wednesday (done just under 34k miles). Fingers crossed... Any ideas??

Probably just a faulty sensor.

Update from the dealer... Need a new inlet manifold which IS covered by the warranty.

Yep was covered by the warranty, thankfully :cool: Black is back & running nice n smooth again  :cool:

And they fixed the rattle in the passenger door!

However.... They still wouldn't turn off my DRL's, apparently it's the law (well it soon will be)!!

Good question! I'll ask the dealer & report back. Strangely my bosses 09 plate rocco's CAT light came on the same day. We checked our fuel receipts but we both filled up at different places. Spooky :evil:
