Limp mode after having new exhaust
« on: 23 July 2010, 08:52:40 »
Dear Forum,

I have a 2.2 cd auto saloon, just fitted a new exhaust system
from the catman, which was very cheap £260. My problem is the emission light stays on andthe car is in limp mode. To get round this I have swapped the O2 sensors, but this didn't work, however if I disconnect the O2 sensor and let the engine get hot, until the fans come on, then re-start a couple of times the car comes out of limp mode and works fine. This has been a problem for nearly 3 years. I thought the new exhaust would fix the problem. Any solutions or ideas my friends.

As per other thread (which implied issue existed by the expensive exhaust was fitted ;)), you need to get the codes read with a code reader...
