trailrated Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Hello All, I'm looking at a '06 MCS to buy. It has the Alta Header/Cat on it and is throwing the P0130 code. I'd like to get an OEM exhaust manifold to replace it and get the O2 sensors replaced as well. I'm hoping that would remedy the situation. Does anyone have an OEM exhaust manifold & cat they'd be willing to sell? I'm in N. Virginia. Thanks! Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TATTRAT Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 A quick google says it is the up-stream 02 sensor, and a pretty easy/straight forward fix. flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailrated Posted February 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 I'm aware. I've spent hours and hours researching this. It can be more than just the O2 sensor, though. Thus, I'm seeing if I can weed out the other possibilities (ex. aftermarket header issues). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmcveay Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I'd have to agree with TATTRAT scavenger on this one. The first Gen MINI's are pretty tolerant on the exhaust mods - unlike us 2nd Gen cars that seem to have some kind of artificial intelligence in the ECU that knows when we've even discussed altering anything between the exhaust valves and the downstream 02 sensor. If the only code it's throwing is the P0130, it could be as simple as a bad sensor. 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
