This week I started hearing a loud noise coming from the exhaust. I got it checked today, expecting a cheap fix.. but then they tell me the noise is coming from where the catalytic convertor connects to the exhaust, and that it needs a new cat. Apparently its a common problem on 206's??
I was wondering where the cheapest place is to get a type cat for my car?
My local garage are happy to fit it should I find the right CAT. Otherwise its a £300 fix
Additionally can anyone recommend a place in Gloucester / Gloucestershire to fit a Bee Sting DAB aerial and ultrasonics?
Thanks,
Darren

#9: Re: 2003 206 SW 2.0 HDI - Cat Broke Author: Seabook, Posted: Sat Jul 30, 2011 9:48 am ---- it has to smoke when you floor it.
otherwise that just mean the car is way under power

it is hard to see the smoke when you are the driver.
usually is the car behind who see the smoke
