Title: Catalyst
Post by Slipknot on Jun 17^th, 2009, 7:13pm

Hello!
Recently if failed MOT on 1996 2.0 100kW Frogeye. All ok, but CO indicates 0.39 with max 0.30. Want to change catalyst. Original part costs a lot and want to change to Universal Catalyst.
Will this Universal catalyst work like normal part?
Also exhaust needs to be welded.

Any ideas on this one?
Thanks in advance!

But Slipknot, are you really sure you want to do all the welding? You could get a direct fit cat for around £70-80 at www.buypartsby.com.

Oh sorry, didn't realize you were estonian :) Check 180327428944 on ebay, 170 euros delivered to Estonia. There was this finnish guy, don't have the link, but he was a good welder and did the work in like 1-1,5 days.

The second one is not that badly priced either. What I mean is that if you look at the ebay listing, the shape is not really in favour of welding in a universal cat.

This was the Finnish guy who put universal cats into a 24V. Obviously he wasn't aware you could just buy them from UK for 220e incl shipping (i did, and I'm from Finland too) and install them...

The MOT data looks nice.... 0.16 instead of 0.30 :)

Ok. I've passed the MOT today. After changing CAT it passed.
I've saved my old MOT data:

2007 i bought it:
CO 0.25 MAX 0.30
Lambda 1.0090

2008:
CO 0.290 MAX 0.30
Lambda 0.9990

2009 MOT part1 Fail:
CO 0.390 MAX 0.30
Lambda 0.9960

2009 MOT part2 Pass: After changing Catalyst.
CO 0.010 MAX 0.30
Lambda 1.0150

In 3 years you can see how the CAT begining to fail. i had a surgery on that CAT. Inner structure of it was destroyed.
