Hi guys. As above, my engine light has come on but i have no idea why. Car seems fine so im gonna take a guess that it is because of the emissions seeing as i have recently fit my sport cat back system and it dorsnt like it very much. Any ideas?

Cheers

It will most likely be a result of your Sports Cat. What make is the Cat and who fitted it?

Definitely need to get it sorted guys. It's now an instant fail for your MOT if you have any warning lights stuck on on your dashboard.

You can turn it off useing Dreamscience etc but it will ping back on after about 200 miles

I thought the idea of a sports cat is that it would still pass the emissions limit but it was less restrictive?
