EML caused by high flow CATs

**Mike R** · 29-01-2014, 02:09 PM

When-ever I drive like a girl, my EML light comes on due to the higher flow nature of the Supersprint CATs. Sometimes it turns itself off, or invariably I have to have Gareth switch it off.

However, while it is on, it always in the back of my mind that I could be driving it thinking everything is okay and it is just the CATs when it is actually another issue.

I have three options:
1. Buy the BMW software and keep turning it off.
2. Take it to someone like Evolve and have the sensitivity of the particular sensor turned down so that it doesn't trip out.
3. Fit one of these in between the exhaust and the sensor (which is supposed to reduce the flow to it, this prevent it from tripping out):

Anyone had any experiences of the above and what do most peeps think is best?

Does your car have warranty?

If not get it deleted from the system.

If it has warranty just buy a BMW laptop, guy on cutters sells them.
Check fault code when light comes on.

Yes it has full warranty.

Do you have the link for the laptop software? Will I get a discount if I mention you or do they class you in the same light as Shimmy

?

I've been advised option 2 & 3 however due to the infrequency of the EML light coming On and shear laziness on my part

I keep using option 1 via my Snap On diagnostic tool

DMS, Evolve & Garteh @ Elms

I turn it off with my iphone (REv2 App) if it comes on. Did it for MOT last month and didn't come back yet

I run the 100 SS cats
the EML light seems to come on whether I've driven hard or out with the Mrs.
Overnight seems to do the trick, EML is usually off next time out.
