Yeah... I suppose that's the easiest way around it... or I might just revert back to OEM cats instead.

Overnight seems to do the trick, EML is usually off next time out.

This seems to have part of the paragraph missing?

Do you mean you disconnect the battery overnight?

Mike, I've had no end of problems with the EML light on my CS since putting the race system on it, although this is with a single Race CAT, as it goes to a single Pipe at the headers. I've ended up putting the spacers on the sensors in the CAT, and replaced or cleaned the others (the one in the header had a massive lump of carbon on it!!)..........seems to have fixed it....For Now

From what i gather with the AlphaN Map you can just do a sensor delete, as this seems to be a problem for quite a few people, if mine keeps playing up i'm gonna look into getting it done.

Good Luck Mate

PS If you want individual sensors you can get Bosch ones from Eurocarparts......BMW will only sell you a full set for about a grand i think...well i may be exaggerating a tad

I've just got one for my mate's Clio, so if this cures his I will get one for mine as well. Should be here on Monday

No he leaves the Mrs out of the car

No battery is still connected

I understand the ecu holds the fault until it's cleared but the EML light has a mind of its own!!

I have noticed this - sometimes goes out of its own accord.

Hey, I'm having this problem intermittently as well. Interested in the app...could you tell me how it connects? Is it really as easy as it sounds? For £7 it seems like a decent option. Any more information on it?
