Not bad for a new cat to be honest
#3: Re: car fix price good or bad? Author: Simmo, Location: YorkPosted: Wed May 09, 2012 8:48 am ---- Thats all together which will include labour too
#4: Re: car fix price good or bad? Author: LeeThr, Location: North West WalesPosted: Wed May 09, 2012 9:05 am ---- Just make sure it's a genuine cat though, otherwise it will play hell with the ECU.

#7: Re: car fix price good or bad? Author: Dillon, Location: KentPosted: Wed May 09, 2012 9:44 am ---- I ran a non genuine cat for 2 years with no problems, Heck Edward ran with no cat and didn't get any problems
#8: Re: car fix price good or bad? Author: anton1989, Location: west midlandsPosted: Wed May 09, 2012 9:49 am ---- I had new cat fitted and short time after the engine light came on, what would that be? I do plan on taking it to get checked but wondering if anyone has an idea?
#9: Re: car fix price good or bad? Author: Simmo, Location: YorkPosted: Wed May 09, 2012 9:52 am ---- the parts usually come from Andrew Page
#10: Re: car fix price good or bad? Author: CHAOS94, Location: readingPosted: Wed May 09, 2012 10:19 am ---- if its labour and all the parts including the cat then i think that is pretty reasonable
#11: Re: car fix price good or bad? Author: Simmo, Location: YorkPosted: Wed May 09, 2012 10:52 am ---- are the lambda sensor an o2 sensor the same thing though?
#12: Re: car fix price good or bad? Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Wed May 09, 2012 12:34 pm ---- if its multiplexed you will get problems from non genuine preplex works with anything i have had de cat normal cat and sport cat with same lambda sensor
#13: Re: car fix price good or bad? Author: V9977, Location: Athens, GreecePosted: Thu May 10, 2012 4:03 am ---- It will not be a genuine cat, however if there is nothing wrong with the running of the engine it
should be prefectly fine and not need replacing again.
That's why there is usually a red sticker on them which says "Find cause of previous cat failing before replacing".
Mux / Non-mux shouldn't make a difference.
#14: Re: car fix price good or bad? Author: Seabook, Posted: Thu May 10, 2012 4:21 am ---- even for the lambda i doubt it will be genuine too
#15: Re: car fix price good or bad? Author: PeterM, Location: NorthumberlandPosted: Thu May 10, 2012 4:34 am ---- I once clipped something in the road and smashed the front cat on my 206 1.1 many years ago and they wanted £174 for the front cat and £50 for the front pipe.... I rang up NPA 01670 520111 and got a front cat for £25 and front pipe for £4... trade prices to the public, give them a call
