the P0420 code can be the result of a bad O2 sensor. The MP4-12C has 4, one before and one after each CAT. If the one after the CAT isn't working right, it will throw this code. If it isn't working at all, it will throw a different code. As for the engine burning a lot of oil in the past. That can absolutely cause your CAT to fail. It will degrade the CAT quite rapidly, essentially 'aging' it very quickly. So if the problem with the engine is fixed quickly, the CAT will still work well enough to pass the internal emissions tests of the car. But as 2 years pass and the CAT ages naturally with use and especially just sitting around in a garage, it will then just be too degraded and can throw the code. Had exactly this happen on my Audi just now.

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

First thing I thought of was a bad O2 sensor, but if he has a decent code reader, it should have a separate test for the O2 sensors.

[@digitalrailroader]

Steffen Scheibler if I remember correctly the code for an upstream oxygen sensor on bank 1 that isn’t switching at all (it’s supposed to switch from 100 millivolts to around 700 millivolts at a rapid pace) it would throw a P0137.

[@transtubular]

I noticed several comments below talking about the O2 sensors and all but I tend to agree that the car's ECU is advanced enough that it would differentiate between a faulty sensor and an inefficiency with the system. When my VW B5 threw that code out...it ended up being the PCV tubes were all clogged up with motor oil sludge left behind from normal driving and years of neglect. Turned out it was a common thing for these cars even with different engines. I replaced the PCV tubing and the code never came back. It's been over a year since that was done.

[@mikaxms]

It's not the worst thing that could have happened. I mean it didn't catch fire...

[@wacabby]

In order to get the code to come back P0420, you need to be driving at cruise control on a flat road at 35-45 MPH, that's when the engine runs in closed loop mode and the rear O2 sensors will be monitoring the efficiency of the catalyst. OR, just buy an O2 sensor extension and install it, and re-test.

[@Google_Is_Evil]

Emissions errors like the one you have, generally require a few drive cycles for the ECU to set the code. This is to prevent temporary load-ups of the cat (like your McLaren mechanic suggested), not running with a warm enough engine, too short drives and all that to trigger a light. It could very well be that the oil two years ago accelerated the wear of the cat in such a way that it now failed well before it's due date.

[@Travel.drone87]

Hoovie, you have an exhaust leak, in 99% of the times, that code is triggered by an exhaust leak that can be very small and you don't hear it. Check the mufflers and the exhaust, pay close attention where they merge.

[@petrsulc1168]

well not 99%, but it could be. And since it has stainless steel exhaust and its relatively new, leak could apear only at connections, and i doubt that in McLaren they do cheap out on new seals when reinstalling exhaust. So the catalytic converter failure is definetly high possibility here, more so if the engine has been eating oil, which is biggest destroyer of catalyzatic converters. As tyler says in video

[@montestu5502]

A smoke test would show if there are any exhaust leaks. Quick & easy.

[@joshriver75]

@@arielatom03that is correct. Even the slightest intake leak produces un-metered air into the system. By which the computer will try and compensate by adding more fuel to that bank which then produces a rich fuel mixture with the consequence of misfires. Rich and lean misfires can both be nearly indectible. It took me a long time to truly grasp stokiometric ratio.

I'm not sure what all that would entail (offer updated trans, less finicky ECU, and publish some best practices to avoid the suspension leaks and other use-case maladies I've read about).

At 6:35 the closed captions when turned on read in brackets "(Music)" and honestly ive never agreed so much with a caption error.

If Hoovie is sick, where is he going to stick that plug???

[@derautopadagoge8899]

Did you recognise, that the car didn't accelerate linear? You can hear it at the engine noises during accelerating. The rpms run not strraight higher and higher, the increasing is interrupting or better slow down for very short times. Only "normal" reason could be, that the car is loosing grip and reduces power. Otherwise there must be a mistake that the car cannot acceletate freely. Try to hear it at 5:12 and 5:21 - 5:25 and 10:02 - 10:08. Plus strange noise at 5:26-5:27 and 10:03. What do yo mean?

I got it right now on my vw

I have a sonata with that code right now, turns out the catalytic converter is shot

[@aussie2uGA]

O2 sensor almost every time

[@MetalTrabant]

Mine doesn't have a catalytic converter. Or an OBD plug for that matter... it has a carburated 2-stroke engine and it's old as fuck! :D At least no bullshit codes to worry about...

[@PlanetTwilow]

Isn't the engine in the back? wouldn't the exhaust be in the back? pop a couple O2 sensor extenders on the rear sensors to enhance the reading diffrence between front/back sensor readings aka Cats working.

Why didn´t he use a seatbelt?

[@MrWoodyBalto]

because nobody held a gun to his head saying he had to.

[@MrWoodyBalto]

@@legojesus1312 I can understand why you think that but ur wrong. I wear my seat belt 100% of the time. I was just defending his right to make a personal choice.

[@ktm640lc4BGD]

Just take off oxygen sensors and look inside with FullHD borescope ($50 on ebay) from all sides and you will see if it is black (clogged), melted or designated in pieces. Mine was missing about 40% of cells on rear side of cat.conv. No cleaning can help with that, only a new one. On mine error was coming after couple hours of driving when computer has enough data to conclude for sure that cat is not doing its job. Also the check light can stay off for weeks if you do not reach the temps needed for the system to run properly.

[@YTGamenerd]

Use that seat belt Wizard.....

[@The1deaguy]

Could also be a clogged downstream O2 Sensor Huuuuvi. My CPO E62 M6 cost $18 grand for new manifolds and cats at 18k! Thank gawd for CPO warranty!

No, there is one other.

The 12c looks like they took a lambo, and took off everything that makes it look cool.
