    You need a VCDS scan too see what the MAF is saying and also O2 sensors and what cylinder the misfires are coming from. Try unplugging your MAF sensor first it could be sending dodgy info to ECU. If no change then do the thing below. stand at the back of the car when starting it and see wait...

    Have you manually opened the roof all the way and then closed it, that should reset the sensors unless there is an actual fault. Have you got the special roof key to unlock the front and rear catches (drivers side panel where fuses are kept)

    3.0 v6 (ASN) P0421 Cat B1 below threshold

    My initial thoughts last Month when it first started was the B1 pre cat sensor but because it is acting the same as the B2 pre cat sensor (where there isn't a problem) I dismissed it. I have managed to buy a new bosch pre cat sensor and the other option after reading up is to check the exit of...

    3.0 v6 (ASN) P0421 Cat B1 below threshold

    That is exactly what i have done, although my results in regards to emissions are sligtly lower in 60’s instead of 90’s. I got cat 1 not ok also, then MOT passes with <.30% = 0.01 emissions. Only thing I can think of is that he measured it against a very high threshold limit.

    3.0 v6 (ASN) P0421 Cat B1 below threshold

    Thanks Callum, the fuel trim on both banks is between -1 and -2 which in my mind says there isnt any extra air getting in (manifold or otherwise) even if there was the cat should still deal with it.

    Paranoid about voltage

    Tells you what voltage the battery currently is, even if says 12v doesnt mean your battery is in good shape as the cold cramping amps could be ***** but gives you a bit of a heads up. Handy for checking if your alternator is healthy kicking 14v+ when car running

    Oil Level Warning on DIS

    Could it be the wiring to the sensor, does the warning stay on the DIS or come and go ? If the leval sensor triggers and you turn engine off and back on does the warning go away, if not does the warning go away if you open and close the bonnet (it assumes you have put more oil in)
