How does it sound like the ecu??

From what you said mate think your cat is gone. Just get decat fitted. Then clear them codes see how drives. Try not to drive it if the cat i blocked

My bros 1.8t did it and it had water damage to the ecu and made the car go nuts. Thats y i said check ecu

I wanted to decat it but cant as no cat = no mot and mot runs out soon

i really need to drive it at the moment for work, am i causing any more damage driving it like it is?
also could i just get 1 from a scrappy JUST for the mot then i could get it decat or is that a no go lol cheers
