You can't decat an MY01/02 without getting the CEL light at some stage.

This can be 'mapped out' if you are going ahead with your Tek 3.

mo mo,

The CEL is just telling you that the 'Cats' are not working efficiently (hardly suprising as you have got rid of them altogether). I drove for a few months with the CEL illuminated prior to getting my remap. The only problem is, with the CEL permanently on, if you have another problem (that would normally give you a CEL) you won't know.

Cheers

Martin
