[QUOTE="johnsattuk, post: 354725, member: 183150"] The oxygen sensors do not like lead, maybe filled the garages with leaded. 'O'-red If the octane rating is too low, perhaps through lack of additives, the ECU will be unable to correct enough and will go into limp home mode. Some garages will take the easy/most profitable way out and replace any/everything they think they can get away with. If it's not lead or similar which has caused the problem, should be OK just to drain the tank and refill with good stuff. :) Edit. Report of silicon found in samples, Oxygen sensors do not like silicon at all, when fitting new ones, the instructions are not to use any sealant which contains silicon. Perhaps of more consequence, cost wise, neither do catalytic convertors. [/QUOTE]
