hi all I’m sure it’s just a coincidence but I’ve done a few things to the car this week last of which was a cat back exhaust
and on the way home it started misfiring and when ever I came to a junction it was smoking like a train.
Here’s the relevant events leading up to it.
A month ago my exhaust snapped at the flexi so I parked it up over Xmas and used the missus car, I used it as an excuse to get a custom exhaust put on there so booked in for the sat just gone.
I decided befor I take it I would do the deletes I’ve wanted to do so last Tuesday did the sai delete, n249 bypass and pcv simplification, while I was there I changed the coolant temp sensors as my gauge has never read over 70 since I bought the car, I also found burnt connection on the thermostat plug and it had no thermostat so changed all that too
The car drove so much better after doing all that
On Friday I fitted my decat ready for the exhaust to be built of of that on sat morning, I drove home and to the exhaust place very slowly as was so loud and then on the way back it drove fine for a few miles and the above problems started, I’ve checked everything I’ve done and nothing has come off.
Sorry for the essay but wanted to give all info as may or may not be relevant
Thanks for reading
