Hi, Have anyone out there ever replaced a catalatyc converter on a 307
2.0lt petrol engin? I was yesterday quoted AU$3690...which is absoloutely outrageous. I fear it may be a mistake. I emailed the PUG repairer back and told him I thought that was expensive but got not response. Lets assume he read it and ignored it. I called around and was quoted about AU$900 by a big brand exhaust specialist here in Australia. Can anyone please tell me more about this type of work? They say there's genuine and after market catalatyc converters and also one size fits all which can be welded into place and that will bring the price down significantly. When a genuine catalatyc converter is replaced, does that usually mean the exhaust manifold attached to the engin is replaced also? Is it the whole first section or is it just the small filter box underneath? Can someone please point out the differences because this is something I know little about and I want to make sure I am not going to create more problems in the near future but I also don't want to be ripped off. I want to avoid welding as this may rust, crack? Am I right in assuming this? Or is welding always carried out with this kind of work. Any response would help me. Thanks- posted
