hi guys,

would fitting a stainless steel exhurst automaticly put the cel light on????

cheers

Ade

 

what full system or back box ?

 

Full system probably.

When I had mine remapped after the Exhaust was fitted,I got the mapper to cancel CEL light.

No problems 3 years after the event.>>>>>>>>>

yeah its a full system from the turbo.

would i have to get some cel unit??

 

Nah, it is just the CEL Orange light doesn't like it.

Several choices.

Go to Maplins & get a Resistor .,80P & follow the link.

Go on to search on here & there are several with Piccies of how to do it.

I tried that, but it wouldn't work for me.

I had a H&S full 3.5" System fitted.

As I said,I then had a remap.


The mapper cancelled it out on the ECU settings.

Works great.

Any probs.

Just give me a shout.

sorry mate for being abit thick but what is maplins.

this is our first scooby so not very clued up with subarus

 

Maplins , like halfrauds, just cleaner, its a shop sells comp gear.

 

Like the Guy said, Maplins are an Electrical Chain of shops.

GO onto search on here, type in CEL Problems, there are so many links, pics etc, yer spolit for choice.

As I said, if you still have probs PM me for help.

cheers for that greg but what have i got to ask for.

 

A RESISTOR!!!!

 

i know that mate lol,

but i done what u said and search on here, and 1 bloke said he got a white rectangle resistor w2k2 and another bloke said the 1 he got was brown with different coloured lines on it, the brown 1 is also shown in the pic.

 

the lines indicate what resistance is do a quick google search to find what they are, then ask for it in maplins

 

so i take it from doing this and taking the lambda sensor out and fitting this resistor would get rid of the cel but doesn't the ecu need to know the air to fuel ratio from the sensor so if fitting the resistor is fooling the ecu by giving it a fixed signal, could this not be quite dangerous to the engine cause it then wouldn't detect if it running too lean or something.

i could b way off the mark cause this is my first scooby i don't really know nearly as much as i should about them yet, (hence i'm on here!!! lol)

I like said at the start of the post, i've just order a full stainless from the turbo back and just wanna make sure i done the right thing.
do ulot have to change them for the MOT's aswell.

Sorry if i'm being a thick ****.

 

Listen, the easiest thing is.

a) Get Your New Exhaust Fitted.

b) Get a remap. (it's worth it)

c) If the CEL light stays on, get the Mapper to cancel it on your ECU.

d) Job done happy motoring,with a much quicker car.

and yes it will fail emissions test , unless you have a good friend who is a tester

 

Mine passes every time.....

PS How did this post become so difficult???????????

 

bearing in mind all i want the exhaust for is to get the deep burble that the scoobys r famous for i haven't done on this post then hey alan.

So now forget all that stuff b4, will i still get that burble if i go stainless from the cat back??

 

Yes!!!

Just get a GOOD Back Box.


H&S, Zero Sports, Millteck etc etc.#


You'll get the burble but NOT the extra grunt.


Forget abot CEL lights, Omissions ballocks>>>

FFS, let me know how you get on, after all this imput.


Good Luck.
