Thats NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- sorry, just phone around places listed or exhaust centres, the price will be a lot cheaper.
If it doesn't fit it would fail MOT from noise and emmisions, and when fitted they do guarantee them. |

Had a new cat fitted locally £250 approx, good price but noisier than original, resonance at about 2500 rpm not noticeable when making progress/
driving aggressively, but irritating when cruising at 2.500 rpm get a whooooo at this rpm. You pays your money you gets your choice. Dave

The Diesel Cats are a Lot cheaper than The Petrol ones, and of course are not required either, hence the DeCat done by a lot of Members..

The chap who is sourcing the cat for me said it is the same as the one for the 75 1.8t. (I have a ZTT 1.8t).
I am sure that is right, could somebody confirm that for me. Thanks Andy |

Sounds logical that the same engine would require the same CAT regardless of body shape and interior/exterior looks.

Time to return to the cat.
At the weekend my engine light came on and today my dealer had diagnosed the problem as a fault with the new cat (4 months old!). The cat was sourced elsewhere so I now have to claim under the one year warranty. The dealer has said they never use aftermarket cats as they always fail and are a false economy. How long have folks had there aftermarket cats fitted and have you had any probs? Thanks Andy |

To add to the above, my dealer has reset the engine light and it has not come on since, which I thought it would have done if the cat has failed.
Can they disable/override the fault code so the light stays out? Andy |

No idea about the light, but sorry to hear you might be having a problem with an aftermarket cat. Mine's still rattling like a good'un at a certain rev range but must still be working as it just passed it's MOT.
Obviously will need changing soon though so I hope your cat is either ok as it'll be the same type i'll be getting in the near future. |
