New cat?
« on: 24 March 2012, 00:34 »
My cat is starting to rattle which is embarrassing when just pulling off or reversing etc.. Does anyone know if this is the right cat for a golf mk4 1.4s..

Put my reg in etc but can never trust ecp always send out wrong parts!


Also I've just had new front brake pads fitted and when I brake now it squeaks like f*ck! What can I do?

squeaking is the pads vibrating, sounds like more grease should have been used when they were fitted

As for the cat, have you tried the heatshield? Sometimes they rattle and not the cat
