Hi all, looking to buy a MK5 GTI, 82k miles, has been remapped to 260-280 brake and has a couple modifications (R8 coilpack, scorpion decat) The seller has said the engine light sometimes comes on after a certain mileage and claims it’s possibly the lambda sensor or needs mapped out. Looking for any advice and anything else to look out for. Cheers

Whose map is it? For 260-280bhp it should have a stage 2 map that usually codes out the lambda light. A vcds scan should tell you the issue.
Also be aware that the car will fail a MOT if it has a decat.
