Christian350z Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Please enlighten me I'm going to get some Decats / Test pipes, whichever you want to call them. (I know they wont pass the MOT, i'm keeping hold of my standard cats so i can change back for the MOT) I have had a few different cars in the past with decats. Some of them had the light come on, others didn't. To stop the light from coming i put a spacer on the o2 sensor so that when it was in the exhaust, it didn't sit directly in the exhaust gas flow, this stopped the light from coming on, it sort of tricks the sensor into thinking all is ok. Most of you will already know about spacers and how they work. The main question is will emissions light come on? - If so do you need a o2 sensor spacers? - Can you buy decats with the spacers already attached? - If your light dose come on, and you reset it, how long will it last before it comes back on again? I'v seen a link somewhere on the forum for resetting everything, some sort of timing procedure with the accelerator pedal. Can anyone give me a link to a code reader that can delete the codes (dash light)? Which of you have had your dash light come on and what did you do about it? Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Yes it will come on. 2 ways around it - spacers or uprev remap. I tried spacers though & they never worked on mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could do with a reader for now if you are selling them, do you have any contacts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
