#1: Rules regarding de-cat pipes for hdi's Author: DannyHDI, Location: coventryPosted: Sun Aug 01, 2010 7:24 am ---- Basicly my cat has been bodged on with been cans and cable ties etc (i didnt do this) and i really dont want to have to spend hundreds on a new cat, so i went to mr tyre and asked about de-cat pipes and if they were ok for an mot on some diesel engines, and they weren't too sure.
My car is an x reg 2.0hdi, does anyone know if it will be okay for an mot.
Thanks Danny

Earlier oil burners have CAT's, which just gathers the soot, the later diesels like the DV6 have particle filters burn the soot off once it's reached a certain level.
