Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Basically I've heard conflicting information for the 996 turbo. Some said the post cat O2s are only there to let the computer know that the cats are working and don't affect fuel calcs in the ecu. Another person said that it does use the secondary O2s to adjust the mixture. Can anyone confirm the truth? Also I'm pretty sure the secondary are narrowband and the fronts are wide, can anyone confirm this also. Thank you in advance.

POST 2Original post

No if everything emission is working as designed. If not (e.g., cat efficiency drops), the post cat reading will also impact the fuel mixture trying to compensate. Macster will chime in any time now...
