Hi all,
Last week I came back from 3 week holiday France / Germany. Before I went I had the regular usual 3.2L problem of catylist efficiency low, so took my GS 500 with me to cancel light.
Happily, didn't need to use it. Not a light in 2,500 miles. been back a week, and yesterday finished using up the fuel brought back, refilled at BP garage.
Hey presto this morning, going up road, light on, reads catylist efficiency low.
Any thoughts anyone???

Has no one noticed the 4p in extra duty that's been added since september? Bastards.

now your talking sense :y

I still believe filling mine with Tesco 99 RON triggered off my fuel trim malfunction problem of a few months ago.......
-
Could be down to the driving style. Lots of fast motorway miles to keep the cats hot as opposed to pottering around town?

Sorry, but as a newcomer I have to ask this. What's GS 500? Old Suzuki?
-
its a scan tool to reset the light.
Lpg makes no difference to the light/cat code.....
Mine still out by the way. Touch wood. Am expecting it any day now, esp. As i am nearing the end of my list of jobs. Car spends most of its time at 80 plus :-X on the motorway at 5a.m.
-
I found my consumption went up ie worse using Shell V Power .
And made no difference to the light ... only changing the cat did that .
I just use standard tesco stuff :-/
-
I'm limited to which garage i can use near me...
No shell or Bp.
But out of the ones i have used i have found tesco 99 to be the best.
Tried all the others, esso, sainsburys, jet etc...
I don't know why, but it seems to run better, and get a few miles per tank :y
-
Always use Sainbury's fuel 95, it's cheapest and I don't see a difference other than paying more for Super.
