I've had problems with this fault since end of December been to dealers 3 times, the last time they reconfigured the CPU.

The fault starts with engine miss firing, engine light flashing the dispaying catalytic converter fault, then after 2 stops and restarts it comes up antipolution fault and the engine light stays on. The car runs fine and the dealers said it's ok to drive.

After about 3 more stops and restarts the fault goes away ????????????

Dealer says to just monitor for the moment

Paul - I've got exactly the same problem as you had - car wouldn't start first time this morning, then when i did get it going it was really "jumpy" - got 100 yards up the road and "Catalytic Converter fault" came flashing up on the screen - I stopped the car and re-started it for it still to be jumpy and the error to still be showing, then when I drove it over to peugeot garage (which is ten miles away) the Anti-Pollution warning came up and the engine light stayed on. Garage is really busy so they can't look at it today, but will try and look at it tomorrow - are you still having problems with yours? Have they given you any clear idea of whether it will happen again?

Symisun - The fault usually clears itself after a day or 2. I don't think dealer really know what it is. I have had the CPU reconfigured to see if that stops it
