Chris anything K reg onwards should be catted up. They are not that time consuming to swap if you have the facilities. I'd say about 30mins would do it.

 

You must have the lambda probe fitted into the by pass pipe or suffer the consumption!!!!!

 

Honestly, it is not worth the bother, unless your cat is knacked. Sometimes they break up and block the silencers in the rest of the system. If that happens I'd just knock whats left out of the cat and put it back on.

 

I have to get my K plate Passat tested next week. If they don't say anything I'll let you know.
