Just had my brakes checked. They ain't binding.

Next thing I'll try is to replace the induction kit with an OWM air intake.

What was the results of your last emission test like? Any sign of over-fueling?

That could be your problem, one at least one of them. Have you thought of replacing the lambda sensor?

Just about to order an NTK/NGK OZA669-EE11 lambda sensor, and am collecting an OEM air intake from pezking on Sat. Should get it sorted. Plus that silly induction kit noise will go Smile

When it's completely screwed the CEL will come on.

The problem with the sensor is that it gradually degrades over time, so you could always benefit from a new one if it's never been replaced.

Im sure the 5G only has 1, and its in the CAT itself Confused. It has been a long time since I swapped an exhaust over though.

In my 5G there was only one sensor and it was located in the downpipe just after(or before) the Flexi pipe.. There was no sensor in the CAT.. Idea
