Failing Cat

Hello,

Over the past two weeks I have had a rattle coming from underneath my ZTT and thought it was a loose exhaust bracket.

The dealer has diagnosed it as a failing Cat. :SHOCKED:

Emissions are OK at the moment however it will need replacing and until tonight I thought it was covered as part of my RAC warranty but it appears not!

Does anybody know how much a new CAT would cost for a 1.8T?

I have recently seen one on ebay for £150. Also any idea of a ball park figure for labour for fitting?

The rattle is getting worse but apart from this could any damage be done to any other components in the car?

Finally what causes a Cat to fail? - the car has only done 10k (7k of which with me as an owner).

Many thanks in advance

Andy
