    What would explain the smell as Valdas mentions?
    the smell would say that car is driven too slow :hehe!:

    Yep sure would, those engines actually do a regeneration of the cat something similar to a DPF on a diesel so if there's a sensor fooked then it won't work correct inc running crap.

    Afaik the Nox sensor is around €350 as there's a control unit built into it too!

    Haha, that's definitely one of its issues alright!
    So, will I arrange with you to get a new sensor fitted? Will text you tomorrow

    So would that mean the cat should be ok, just the sensor is shagged?
    What's the regeneration of the cat mean? Not up tp speed with these modern motors

    And again, thanks for the input as always

    Are you being serious ? I wouldn't mind giving it a go if I thought it was any good or if anyone has used it to good effect.
    It would beat the hell out of getting a new cat.
