Not really mythical - the cat spent too much of its life never getting properly hot. It needed a fast run to get it hot enough to properly burn off the crud.Sounds like the mythical Italian tune-up.

coming back with a bit of an update. short story... light keeps coming on and off and sort of got used to it
long story... it disappeared by itself (usually 1-3 days); the thing is that one time when it went on i was literraly out of power, engine almost stalling and had to drive very carefuuly. on top of that the light was blinking not staying solid. it went off again that evening then and all worked as it should. highway long drive, back on with no change in behaviour; back off and so on. what's strange is that i can't make a pattern to it. and also last two times it had no change in behaviour of the engine when it went on. very strange.
i'd go and actually change things but i don't wanna put couple of thousands just to see it make the same.
some observations maybe anyone has a hint
- don't know if it's because of winter but looks like the exahaust is showing more gases; don't know if it's just because of the hot gases coming out and creating the effect or not. tried to look at other cars and don't quite see the effect; saw something similar on a Porsche SUV and some other cars occasionally.
- have a feeling that the car gets hotter "under"; don't ask me why and I don't know how to explain; jsut when i open the door feels like a lot of heat sometimes
any advice would help. the guy at the dealership told me it's not worth putting money in this car, but i love this one so hope to get all things fixed and finally go for my tow bar and caravan
