what was the lambda reading, did it pass, personally i think once the egr is back on and if you put a new cat on then it should pass, that is providing your lambda isnt knackerd, might be worth replacing that aswell just too make sure

No it didn't?
It has to be between 0.97 and 1.03 - the first time it was 0.96, and the second, 0.81?

It coats the cat and destroys the chemicals inside, doesnt always do it straight away but over a period of time, especially if used frequently it damages the cat, unless of cause it says on the bottle it's cat friendly
