bossjohnc Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 Yep you're right - engine management light it is.`De-cat` zorst might have something to do with that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Lup Gti Posted June 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 full marks to John!!it is the engine management lit and it is on cause of the `de-cat`!!Getting it turned off at the next meet tho!! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DubDub Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 Do I not get 1 point for correcting him??Why would it come on because of the `De-cat`? and wouldnt it just `re-occur`? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 It comes on because all modern VAG cars have two lambda sensors, one before the cat and one after the cat. The `after-cat` one is used primarily to determine whether or not the emissions are OK.Obviously, once the cat is removed, the second lambda sensor is not receiving the data it expects, so throws up a fault code. Unfortunately, the second lambda sensor is also partly used to control fuel trim, which means that the car will also be running rich/lean (almost certainly rich) resulting in lower performance and higher fuel consumption.Ironically, unless you keep resetting the ECU (which also resets the fuel trim values, so it stops running rich for a couple of days) you'll probably find that you are getting the same or even possibly less performance from the `de-cat` than you would have by keeping the standard cat on!You can get devices which basically replace the rear lambda sensor, and are supposed to feed correct data to the ECU. I don't have any experience with them though :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Lup Gti Posted June 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 i had the `de-cat` on for 2 months before the check loght came on!!!performancs is better toocan reach limiter in 5th now and couldnd before!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medwaygti Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 That is the emissions light that is on bye the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 Fair enough. Might be worth investing in your own copy of `VAG-COM` though :wink:Edit: Actually, for most Seat cars, the fuel trim adjustment via the second Lambda sensor was only introduced in `mid-2001`. If that was the case for the Lupo as well, yours might be early enough to not suffer degraded performance with the cat removed. I'm guessing it's gonna be early 2001 if it's a `5-speed`?
