I've had a P0430 (cat bank 2 below efficiency) for a while now, replaced 02 sensor.... no joy,

swapped bank 1 and 2 sensors around.... still bank 2 below efficiency

 

So now im thinking my cat is dead ... poor oscar lol

 

do you all think the same?? Replace the cat???

 

Also does anyone have any cats for sale?? Preferably standard cats no test pipes or hfc.

If got a 2004 DE

 

Good day to you all

Just a wild guess but could you have a small exhaust leak that could cause this. I suggest this because my mate had an engine warning light come on suggesting a lamda sensor error or cat problem (I don't recall) and the RAC guy told him it was due to a leak in the exhaust.

He sorted the leak and no more error codes.

Hope it helps!

This is what im hopeing, i have a k1 with baffles in so its loud anyway although I seem to think it has got abit more farty and droney recently, but at the same time it Could just be my imagination.

 

I'm hopefully going to get it on a ramp this weekend to find a leak, if i can't find a leak I'm going to get a second hand cat off jez from Horsham.

 

Thanks for the response, im a little bit more optimistic now that its a leak... fingers crossed
