i want to decat my 1.8t, now i want to make sure that i can keep the section with the cat for my mot's and that
if i just get a straight piece of exhause to replace where the cat is now?
will i get engine lights come up or not? :huh:
-
if its the aum with 2 sensors then you prob will get the light come up but runs fine and you can keep the section with the cat on it, mines slung up the back of my shed, waitin for mot, lol
-

oh thought that would just be AUG

no there are 3 versions of the golf gti, the aug, arz and the aum, the arz is quite a rare engine! doesnt mean its any better though :grin:
-
ah k, back to the point anywayz, the de-cat's pretty good though once its worn in you get alot of backfire and it pops a few flames now an then, free's up some power, revs up better an that, but smells alot in traffic !

You know that excuse doesn't wash?
-
Would you say just have a piece put in at the exhaust place or buy the de cat section on ebay?
-
only be a fine and they dont say oh you have a de-cat they say your emissions are running to high here's a fine now go get it sorted, then prove it to someone. i think anyway !

Ignorance is never an excuse.

Recent thread in Mk 3 section concluded not worth doing!

Seriously, you think they care when you bought it? As long as you're the owner they'll say here's the fine. 30 days, or we'll see you in court. Do you want that kind of hassle in your life?

m8 i hav had worst than that so no it wont bother me at all they tryed to screw my gf for drivin my left hand mk1 golf when i had an accident we were look at jail so fook them.
anyway its all about moddin the cars why shud we worry about vosa ect.
-
Go for it then :)
-
Go for it then :)
i have already lol :grin:
life is to short to worry about anybody like them live it fook them.
cause they nearly fooked mine up.
-
yeah i do agree, worry about a problem like that when arrises, im pretty sure that when u get pulled over you can just turn the engine off anyway so they wont notice :grin:
so anyway before all you rude people hijacked my thread, can i just use a piece of normal exhaust pipe then?
-
my question exactly :laugh: :laugh:
-
yes but better to man up and bore up, lol
-
Isn't the downpipe and cat one piece on millktek's and aftermarket's?
For another £100 i'd just get a sports cat. No need to take it off once a year, no risk in getting caught, no EML light, no smells, backfires or anything else!
Also decat's make it loud as fook!
JMO but I couldn't be doing with the hasstle and expense of swapping over all the time !

lol yeah but the smell, and popping is all what makes it worth it lol :smiley:
-
iv got a mk4 aum with a 3" downpipe and decat and 2.5" blueflame full system , its not loud at all nice ripping noise under heavy throttle , free's the car up so much , eml light is on but meh botherd . and as regards to cat either £20 in the ashtray or have my original downpipe modified to be a bolt in bolt out jobby :D

With regard to the engine light,you need to buy a spacer kit to bring the lambda probe out of the main exhaust airflow :wink:

but how does that still work cause u ov still not gettin the rite emmission.
-
The lamda probe sits in the centre of the exhaust,without the cat the emissions are to high.To solve this you need to bring the lambda probe closer to the edge of the exhaust,it reads lower emissions and doesn't through up the engine light :wink:

No I didn't. Usually pent 90% of time in Sittingbourne at my GF's. A lot of my friends have Golfs but not the ones I was with yesterday who couldn't give a flying fcuk about cars. I'm just about to wash mine too!
