Hi all,
I'm 4 months into my granturismo GTS ownership and still loving the look and sound from her. It's a Fantastic place to sit and I'm still mesmerised at how beautiful a Car she is.
However I've had an intermittent warning light come on which a local specialist looked at and reset for me, he gave me some injector cleaner and advised me to only use shell quality fuel. He said it my just go away.
The codes are p0420 and p0430 which comes up as "catalyst system efficiency below threshold".
I bought an OBD reader and have reset this code a few times myself, but clearly there's an issue here.
A local garage originally said both cats needed replacing, which was going to cost an arm and a leg.
However the specialist said the lambda sensors might have gone, not cheap but somewhat cheaper than the cat replacement.
Does anyone have any experience or advise to give me.
Thanks in advance.
