Please go easy, newbie post. I have a 2002 STI PPP(bugeye) 36K miles. Just about scraped through MOT on emissions 6 weeks ago after taking it to 2nd garage, running it for miles before etc and prayer. CO emissions initially high >0.3% on fast idle but eventually got through on 0.26%. Spent £1k on various bit & bobs for service & replacement blowing "joint pipe exh rear" through subaru dealer. Now this damn light is lit up all the time on the dash="malfunction indicator lamp". Service book says an emission problem. Before losing lots more ££££££ to subaru, anyone got any helpful suggestions? Gulp!

 

If you are in the East london area we could plug it into the computer and see what errors come up?

 

sounds like a duff cat, easy enough to replace but more £'s i'm afraid...

 

Thanks Guys,
Well just have to take it in and hope for the best then? If new cat needed...(36K miles?) what ££££ are we looking at? And can I take it to any garage for diagnostics? Dagenham is a bit far from Bristol...cheers!
