New Cat Convertor
«

Recently my car had a horrible smell coming from the exhaust like a sulphur smell. so i been and had a new Cat fitted today. the mechanic said he can still smell fuel coming from the exhaust and it will burn this cat out if i dont sort it
Any ideas what will be causing it? theres no error codes form code reader or anything. This may also explain mt poor mpg as i seem to get less than u lot

What MPG are you getting? MAF and lambda primarily control fuelling.
