Leon Cupra owners with BF Turbo Back...

[RikH]

alright guys

few of you as well as me got the exhuast from BF in the group buy
few of you id imagine are getting the CEL light from the secondary sensor.

I know how to sort this but here is the problem and where i need your advice & solutions.

I ordered the spark-plug non foulers AND the angle block from the US.

Just had the car in the pit at work and the secondary sensor is on the TOP of the pipe-so there isnt enough room to get the angle block on, let alone get the secondary sensor back in.

There looks like there is only enough room to get ONE of the non-foulers on which prob isnt enough to escape the code.

Only other option i see is the map out the sensor.

Just wanted to know how you guys are getting on???
Moff, Cowie etc etc.

Cheers

my sensor is on the side. just turn your Cat one pitch matey.

Although it is an LCR... they should be similar, if your cat section is straight, undo it and turn it.

 

[tris]

LCR are not in the same place

I have the same problem but I keep turning the light out and for the last 3weeks it has not come on so had forgot about it

 

[RikH]

yeah same as me tris
it only comes on again once erased if your standing in traffic/stopped at lights etc after driving it a distance.basically once it starts to idle

cowie/moff?

ive got the BF downpipe, sports cat and xorst and i get no CEL!!

I occasionally get the problem on vag.com saying about the sensor issue but not CEL! I just clear it and it comes back every now and again!

weird?!?!

 

[seatsteve]

wonder what mines gonna do when i put markriel decat pipe on..........

 

[davebnly]

Im also having this problem with the powerflow cat i had fitted last thurs. CEL came on sunday evening when starting the car already warm, Faults cleared on Vag-Com and again today the CEL came on, starting from cold after work.

If anybody knows how i can have the secondary sensor mapped out to avoid this could you please let me know.
Thanks!!!

again yours is an R... and im quite sure the LC systems are 100cel

davebnly, im looking into this as we speak. CC do it, and a few others. But basically means you have to get the car performance mapped

 

[barnsley]

buy one of these and get it fitted at some were like exhaust uk then you can put the lambda in the place you want it

[RikH]

i dont get it
all that will do is block the hole up

o2 sensor will act a right knob if u just tie it to the underside of the car out the way surely???

 

[barnsley]

its an Exhaust boss and the bung you bung the old lambda hole up and have the new boss welded in the fit the lambda in the new exhaust boss hole

 

[RikH]

ahhhhhhhhhh get ya
drill the exhaust and weld that in

 

[ArosaRacer]

i looked a tris and amanda's cupra's and the only way i can see is to have the probe moved to the side like the LCR systems, also the cupra ones need the exhast to be dropped down which is another pain in the ass!

 

[barnsley]

ahhhhhhhhhh get ya
drill the exhaust and weld that in

now you got it need to sort this on mine

 

[The MoffMeister]

as said already to rik i am going to speak to a guy tom to see if he can custom build us one i think from what i can see if it was shaped like a banana it would fit strange i know but what other dseign do people think?

 

[RikH]

its gonna be difficult
blocking the existing hole and drilling/welding another is ALOT of work for something that still might not work

only 100% solution i see is having it mapped out

 

[TDCupra]

My CEL hasn't come back on since getting the CC PH2. Its an expensive way of getting round it tho!

 

[RikH]

yeah u got lamda defeat aka mapped it out

 

[The MoffMeister]

alot of people do it rik maybe easiest solution for you depends if you want to spend out on it

i wish piper came along earlier

 

[TDCupra]

yeah u got lamda defeat aka mapped it out

Are there any drawbacks to mapping out the sensor? Does it mean I won't get any warnings if something goes wrong in the zorst?
