Hi
The cat on my gti 6 (S reg) is cracked, a mate has a cat from a d turbo, also an s reg. Would this fit?
I dont really want to fully disable it and roll around for ages under it, only to find it doesn't fit
Cheers guys

Pete

The best engine in the world is the vagina, it takes any size piston, its self lubricating, starts with 1 finger, and every 4 weeks does its own oil change. It's just a pity the management system is so fecking temperamental.

No, they have different shape & length downpipes.

Plus, petrol and diesel catalytic converters are different in internal construction anyway due to the contents of the exhaust gasses being different.

As stated, diesels use a DPF (diesel particulate filter) whereas PERV's use a catalytic converter and are not interchangeable.

Not quite. Diesel engines use catalytic converters as well as petrol engines, they are just a different type designed to clean diesel exhaust rather than petrol exhaust.

Although particulate filters are commonplace these days the 306 predates the European requirement to use them so only a catalytic converter is used.

On modern diesel engines the catalytic converter and particulate filter are usually combined into the same part for easy replacement though.
