Title: De-cat
Post by: Rmachines on 21 April 2007, 13:33

Hi, Does my mk3 golf need a car?

It said its tune for R-Cat but would it fail emissions without it?  Its 1.4l AEX Btw.  My cat is falling to bits and  sure as heck and afford a new one at the moment.


 :cool:

How about if it was gutted?  Would it fail emission?
