Can't title this as a fault as such, the car is idling a little unsteady sounds a bit like it's hunting.

EML is on, and has been on since I did the conversion and still smells like it's running a little rich. Car still behaves normally and performs well. It's just when it's idling it is a little inconsitant.

Any guesses?

It does it all the time.

CTS is the original from my 1.2. Wish i'd bought a new one anyway.

I was think AFM could be doing this also.

CTS plugs into the thermostat housing (blue plug on the end of it)

Buy a proper XE one from autovaux, there about £7
