management light.....?

[boz]

Ok,
Just fitted the full magnex single box system from the vtr onto the vts. also fitted a vts de-cat pipe too. Fitted the lambda sensor into the de-cat.
Car sound amazing and can feel a difference.
This was all done 3 days ago.

Went to pick up my lass from work tonight, coming home i overtook a bus (giving it some) then 2 mins later the management light came on, i was just cruising at 50mph. The car seems to be running fine with no missfires etc.

Any ideas?

Could this be linked with the exhaust??

Cheers
boz

if you plugged the second sensor back in with no cat, it is probably flagging to tell you the cat is deed, but since its not there....:P

[riggsy]

Yeah what he said ^^ i have the same problem, but its not a problem atall just refit the cat for mot :)

Don't worry about it mate ive fitted a manifold, de-cat and peco cat-back system, there are holes for both lamba sensors so plugged them in and my engine management light still comes on, had it plugged in to diagnostics, it registered the fault with the cat not bein there, had it cancelled but then the management light still comes on, mines on permanently, and the car still runs alrite.

has the vts got 2 lambda sensors??

carnt understand how it was ok for 3 days lol

i have had the battery disconnected for an hour and the light still comes on.......

the vtr had the same system on and a de-cat, the light never came on with that, in all of the 4yrs i was driving it around?????

strange

[hesslevtr]

yeah think your will have two boz as its 52 or 53 isnt it

try re setting ecu see if that helps

Ok,
Fitted the lambda sensor into the de-cat.


The lambda sensor goes into the cat... how can it go into the de-cat!?!

My engine management light used to come on but that was because the sensor was dangling in mid air. I then put a lambda sleeve on it, tucked it up to the underside of the car, had the lights re-set and it never came on since.

im guessing theres a hole for it in his decat

[DevilDamo]

Strange... the people who did that should have known the light would come on sooner or later because you can't connect it straight into the de-cat pipe.

[chrisni1986]

i have a supersprint centre section and theres a hole for the lamda to go into which i have fitted.. so how can you not connect it??

[DevilDamo]

Is your engine management light on?

u can mate. ive got the same prob now started today :( had the de-cat on for a week and it starts today :n: weird.

mines a magnex damo and it has a hole to screw the lambda sensor into

[chrisni1986]

yea my management light is lit, i had my supersprint centre section fitted a few days before the light lit.

[boz]

yep, its a magnes de-cat system that has a hole in it for the lambda sensor.

mite just take the bulb out of the dash for the managment light, or a bit of black leckie tape lol

Hessle -

i have disconnected the battery and left it for an hour. the light still came on lol

any more ideas peeps?

[DevilDamo]

If a car has no cat, it will trigger the engine management light. So why not just put a sleeve on the sensor and then tuck it up to the underside of the car. The light might then go off. If not, have Citroen re-set them and you should be ok. That's what I did with mine mate.

[chrisni1986]

once yours was re-set did it stay off then? was thinking of gettin this done but was afraid it would come back on again in a few days

[hesslevtr]

right boz how many sensors does it have 2 or 1

i think you will need to plug the hole in the cat and get a lamba sleeve

[DevilDamo]

once yours was re-set did it stay off then? was thinking of gettin this done but was afraid it would come back on again in a few days

The light came on... I then had the sleeve fitted... I went to Citroen and had the lights re-set... They never came back on.

[insane_saxo]

My engine light is also on, i also have a decat pipe, it came on about 2 weeks after i got it fitted, the lambda sensor is plugged in to the pipe, should it still be on?, and if i go to citroen to reset the ECU wouldn't they not touch it due to it not having a CAT? Thanks.
