Hi peeps car still keeps failing its emissions despite cleaning up everything it started off at 3.5%COs and after all my effort it's now 2.5% COs still quite a bit over the 0.3 limit.....

So I'm guessing it needs a new cat.

So what I've done so far is replaced the lambda, took everything off from turbo to throttle body and cleaned all those bits up, checked all the vacuum lines, disconnected loads of electrics and cleaned with elec contact cleaner so map, maf etc...

Found a cat on this website but it seems too cheap as the euro car parts one is quite a lot more.....
