Title: She failed the MOT - she just passed
Post by: pussy-galor on 08 July 2006, 13:45: Well I took my car in for the MOT and she failedÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â :cry: on emissions. I had a feeling she would but still its a right pain in the arse.

Apparantly the cat is broken - so I have ordered a new system - 2 boxes twin end and standard cat - with a nice lil burbble - shes booked in thursday to have it all fitted and then MOT again - hopefully it should sort it.

I see if I can get some piccys of the under neath when shes done

Post by: DubFan on 18 July 2006, 12:58: When I had to get a new cat on my Mk3 16v I took it to the local exhaust place, who ordered the stock part, which then I was told, didn't fit because VW did an odd fitting on the Mk3 for about a year and it's hard to get one to fit now.
So I took it to my local garage, and they got one made up/modified specially to fit my car and that cost over Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£300 in the end, which wasn't too bad.
