Hey all,

engine managment light come on to reveal my cat is faulty! im gonna change both the cat and the sensor after the cat (dont know what the offical name for that sensor is)

i dont wanna put a decat on it but i am having a nightmare buying the cat privately...as they aint bleeding cheap!! EUROPARTS had a shocker, i entered my registration number in to their database and a cat come up for my model.....expect it was totally wrong when my mechanic offered it up to the car.....like no where near the same!! does anyone know what cat i would need for a 1.6 16v VTS 03 plate? links would be appreciated! and also what sensor i would need and the proper name for it (the sensor after the cat)

thank you

Grahame :afro:

I can only tell you that the sensor is called a lambda sensor (post or after cat).
