Isn't the GPF fitted instead of the CAT?

This article suggests it’s close to the turbo so it heats up quickly to be able to function, and is in addition to the Cat;

2020 Polo GTI Plus; Pure White, DSG (because they all are)
Gone but not forgotten;

Yes that was my understanding too, right after exhaust manifold......which goes against the photos earlier in this thread where it's under the car.

I even spoke to the senior (whatever that means as he was so young) technician at vw chester and even he couldn't really answer my questions regarding it's operation.......the replies were very genetic.....pathetic really, not his fault but vw should be providing proper technical information.
The sales people hadn't even heard of one....no surprise there then 😉

Would suggest that the cat is what was shown in Fred's picture before as the GPF is further up and hidden from view.

Just got home and noticed the GPF was running as I turned my car off and got out. It’s the first time I’ve heard it kick in. I was sat in stand still traffic just now coming home from the match, took me 1 hour and 10 minutes to move 1 mile, maybe that’s why.
