cat converter

So, anyone bought any cat converters from those sites, are they any good? Do they last, are they of high quality or will they break down 3 months later?

Many thanks E

De ju vu here we have a 1.6s 2001 car and the cat is rattling to death and are planning on getting it replaced. VW quote us just over £600!!!! aparantly though it is a design flaw on their part that its not a bolt off bolt on job they have to drop the subframe to do the job. Kwik fit £365 sounds cheap but I'm sceptical of their workmanship, might end up copsting you more when the muck it up. My advice is find a vw specialist.

I've never used any of those sites above I use gsfcarparts (google it) and I think a cat from them about £100 inc vat and its not a genuine part but a decent pattern type part.

Well, in the end, bought the cat converter (2 year warranty) and front pipe, with fitting kit for =A3150 inc delivery from onlineautomotive.co.uk, fitting cost =A350 (perhaps due to the fact that I know the mechanic), he said he had to drop off the subframe also, so =A3200 is a bargain compared to Kwik Fit (=A3365) or VW (nearly =A3600 just for the catalyst!!! - never bothered to ask about the fitting etc). Mechanic said that the cat converter seems decent, but of course, I'll find out over the next few months and years (if not weeks - i hope not!). No noise, it seems to have sorted out another problem as the exhaust pipe was slightly loose, whenever I hit the brakes, there was a snapping noise, now it's much smoother. E

hello i brought a cat converter and rear box for my mondeo both parts cost me 100 pounds quick fit quoted me 170 pound jsut for the front converter part i fitted my self in just over an hour will uing ramps and the qaulity of the parts i was very pleased with indeed and will conider doing all my own repairs at these prices a there is a recession on haha
