Quick Cat Question

[Halfmoon 0]

The car failed it's MOT on excessive emissions - not surprisingly, as it had a decat - so I'm fitting a new catalytic converter.

 

Do I need to reset the ECU after it's fitted so the ecu know's that a cat has been refitted?

:scratch:

Nope, the cat works independantly of the ECU 8)

 

It's only the modern VWs that look at the exhaust gases post cat to make sure it's working.

I live in Kemp Town! :lol: Have you just bought yours? I've never seen a red VR6 here, there is a red 16v by the seafront though.

It's been off the road since winter :(

I'm near the Barley Mow & the car's normally round that area, but it's not badged as a VR6.
