Hi all, Anyone know the location of the cat converter? I've traced it from the tailpipe to what I believe is the egr cooler and cannot see it. Is it right behind the engine or something? Had recent custom exhaust work done so want to make sure this has been left untouched and unaffected as originally assured.

 

Thanks

If it had been tampered with you'd know. Louder exhaust note and secondly a warning light on the dash.

 

You will have two large boxes on your exhaust, CAT and DPF. I am not sure of which way round they are on the mk3 as no longer own a diesel but I would suspect its, Turbo - CAT - DPF - Rear Silencer.

Thanks for the advice buddy. Exhaust note isn't drastically different and all is running smoothly, so hopefully ice nothing to worry about.

So what was the Custom work as in where did it start and did the person doing it not know anything about 1.4 TDI's to know what was what?

?

Is that all that is different, just the noise no gain in performance which there was little chance of being anyway.

Specialists so they knew what they were doing. Though one thing I've learned is never to take someone's 'word' for the work done and to look things over myself.
