adhawkins Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 What year is the car? If it's on throttle bodies, I would expect it has got a Cat. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adhawkins Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 In that case, it'll almost certainly have a Cat I'd have thought. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Unless it was SVA'd with a pre '95 engine of course..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adhawkins Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 If so, could it still be on a 'W'? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Yup. It could have been the 1 reconditioned part....... Why not ask the factory. It'll save us lot second guessing each other...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adhawkins Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Yup. It could have been the 1 reconditioned part....... Fair enough...adding that little tidbit to my store of knowledge Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wood Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Can you see a feint line around the silencer about 4 inches from the front or is there a difference in colouring of the metal here - indicating a change in temperature? - assuming it's a side pipe? I think they have a cat welded into the front of the silencer. I imagine it would have had one from the factory but I suppose the exhaust could have been changed since. The other option is to find someone with a CO meter (eg Gunson's job from halfords or 4gas analyser at an MOT station), get it nice and hot and then check the CO at idle and maybe at 2500 RPM. If it's bu66er all it's got a cat! Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
