Smile Cel emissions fix

Let me start by saying I'm not a rep for this outfit.

Since I bought the car 2 months ago with 290km I had a code P420/430 (Catalytic/Oxygen sensor error). This occurred after we replaced the resonator/muffler. During this time I disconnected the battery numerous times and CEL came on within 1 mile. I tried acetone at a rate of 1/2 liter to 1/2 tank of gas numerous times...Nada. (acetone is the base for most fuel injector cleaners)

Finally I sprung for 1 liter of Cataclean @ $19 bottle to 1/4 tank of gas. (cleans Cat and Oxy sensors) As the gas hit the red zone I used my code reader to clear the codes. I drove another 50 miles in stop/go/high speed;turned motor off/on many times and the CEL did not come on! I ran it 'till almost empty to get the full benefit of the bottle, STILL NO CEL!

They say this will also get you a pass on your annual emissions test.

Hope this helps those in a similar situation where your pulling your hair out.
