Catalytic C'onverter Installing...

[Escort Singh]

Hi everyone,

 

I need to fit a new cat to my Escort mk6 1.6, the question is how simple is it

 

I'm assumming you undo the two nuts/bolts near the middle silencer and break off the two pins on the manifold and remove lambda and bingo? If this is correct please let me know, my car is picking up too fcuking slow

 

Cheers

Will replacing the cat really help your pick up speed?

i think if the cat is fucked, it makes your car slower

make sure you coat the two bolts in penetrating oil to try and free them up (unless you have some form of gas to get them hot). undo the nuts on the bottom of those two pins and then they will drop out when you remove the retaining pin at the top. remember to remove the lamda sensor and then it should come off.

 

also, remember to fit new gaskets when you put it all back together
