JasLad 0 Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Guys going to fit a decat at the weekend and want to be prepared, however phoned the Parts dep at VW and they say there is no gasket between the manifold and cat, is this correct? The 3 bolt/triangle connection?Would some sealer on this joint be suffice if required? Link to post Share on other sites
