Hello All.
I am after a little advice if anybody can help please.
My wife's EP3's engine light came on 4 days ago which, according to the code reader, was down to the secondary o2 sensor.
I reset the code and it has not came back on.
Approx 8 months ago, Honda diagnosed a slight rattle as being the cat but suggested living with it unless I wanted to spend £1200.
Although her car is driving fine with no obvious performance issues, I am wondering whether the light is associated with the cat rattle and whether it is about to go completely.
We've always replaced parts with oem but don't fancy paying over £2000 which is the last oem price I noticed, although not sure where Honda got £1200 from.
Was just wondering what options there are for replacing the cat if it does end up needing to be?
It still has the original back box with a recently replaced new oem B pipe.
I have seen a few second hand cats on ebay etc, but wondered if there are any "pattern" makes that can be a straight swap without increasing noise or needing to be remapped?
The aim isn't to increase performance, just to replace the cat if needed.
Any advice will be much appreciated.
many thanks
