Is this the fault code the car went into the garage for on your other thread??

P1131 is a faulty front lambda (02) sensor ...........P0420 is the usual CEL code for a de-catted car which is thrown by the rear lambda sensor ......

Sounds like a faulty sensor......not an unusual occurence. I'd have a look at some of the breakers on here and see if they have a spare (scoopy parts etc).

Apart from blacking out the CEL (allegedly as they say on HIGNFY) did the garage mention what the CEL was.

Are you handy with spanners ??
