Post by: marcbcfc on 08 October 2006, 22:04:40
Allo gents got myself another omega as i couldnt get the other one too work but this one has got a few probs the rubber hose on the secondary air pump pipe keeps melting  (dvrs side) and the engine management light is intermittment The fault codes are coming up with oxygen sensor  and  icv fault Would the lambda sensor affect the temp of the cat as ive got a feeling the right hand cat is on its way out  ...any ideas

Right hand cat? 16v engine? surely you have a 2.0 with only one cat? :-?

Sounds like the non-return is stuck open but could also be a blocked exhaust or disintigrating Cat causing excessive back pressure.
