Default Need some help with a bad cat...
VAG'd my car after multiple CEL's each time had a code pointing to a bad cat.

Anyone have a stock cat. conv. for a 02 1.8T they want to get rid of?

Also can someone refresh my memory on what the warranty for emissions is?

Thanks!

Default Might just need O2s but if left too long the cat will die too.
I had 'catylist efficiency' CELs when I needed to change the O2s in my A8.

I have one that fits B6 1.8T. Might work on a B5 too.
