Big_Bob 0 Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 I've heard that on certain cars, linked to age I think, the MOT does not require a CAT to be installed. Is this true? I've got a 96P reg VR6 and would seriously like to take the cat out of the system so to speak. Obviously it'd still have to be in tolerance for the emmisions side of thing. Can anyone provide any more info or a link to more info? Ta. Link to post Share on other sites

craggsy 91 Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 I think it will be about 1992 or '93 the date for needing a cat. As Mk2s don't need a cat Link to post Share on other sites

MJ Vr6 79 Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 BigBob, I did put a thread out on this subject quite a while back. You do need the cat for the Mot, UNLESS you know the tester very well...Apparently, if u copper grease it nice enuff, u can take the cat off and on easily at the Mot time...Not sure if thats correct in regards to the Copper grease..I am thinkin of taking my Cat off and upgrading the manifold.. My mate has done it, u can notice the difference.. Link to post Share on other sites
