Guys just offered me this 20 quid off at 169 says lambda sensor can be put In but will it work? An will this still need mapping? Apparently it's an mot pass he reckons you can get away with cat on downpipe?

Cheers man I've got a feeling that 02 code might come back but I suppose atleast the exhaust issues out the way, would like to know though if it is the tgv sticking or a sensor will it hurt anything running it like that a while?

As long as it is >97 ron you will be ok.

These can be fussy on fuel though as some people who run V-power say that bp ultimate makes car run horrible. I had mine mapped to BP Ultimate as it is the nearest >97 ron petrol to where I live plus this allows me to run other 97 ron fuel. Mapper told me if I ran 95 i should just take it easy until I can fill up with the correct ron. If I had it mapped to 99 ron he believed I might get an extra 5-10 bhp on the dyno which you would not notice.

 

Lower octane will allow detonation and this will destroy your car.

I cannot be bothered to look through the threads but I am sure Savage said front sensor. Anyway glad you are on the road.

Same to you. I will be a having a drink at home with my daughter. Mum has her at Xmas I have her over New Year.

Must be the Wagon as I find it the total opposite. Corsa's don't even bother. Lots of people ask about the car though. As I have said before everyone likes a Subaru from all ages I find. Kids love the scoop I guess.
