Will a mk1 vts cat fit a mk2 vts?

[riggsy]

My mate has a mk1 vts cat (from his mk1 vts) sitting in his garage for when he needs it for MOT, will it fit my mk2 vts?

[hesslevtr]

should so

not sure about lamba sensors though as im sure later vts have 2 and early has 1

not sure where the sensors go

[ets2k9]

I had one but had no where to plug the lamda sensor so ditched it for a mk1 which is what car I have despite having a mk2 engine.

Hope that helps and Paul will you fuck off ;)

harsh ste wish you would leave me alone and stop following me

it will fit mate vts cat length never changed between mk1 and mk2. you can just cut the lambda sensor off and extend it with some wire, solder it together and wrap it with tape if you need to extend. i extended the one on my vtr and it was fine :)

[riggsy]

So it will deff get me through an mot?

should do mate, try it.
im sure the mk2 vts has 2 lambda sensors and the mk1 has 1. see if his cat has a hole for the sensor in it or not? if not you could fit it anyway and place the sensor that would go in your cat, into a bag, tape it up out of the way with tape or cable ties.
see what the car feels like. will probs still pass an mot with the one sensor in it, wont fail because the engine management light is on, thats prob the only thing that will happen.
dont tell the mot tester, he probs wont notice :)

or get a new one from euro car parts, think the are £70ish quid, will last for ever tho if you are just taking it on and off for mot time.

[riggsy]

Ok cheers Boz ill have a look at it then ask my mate at citroen if a new one is only £70 i might even go for that :)

ive just put a mk1 vts decat on a mk2, all we did tho was securely tie the lambda sensor up out of the way, :y: no problems at all

Is the engine management light still on?

If the management light is on will that fail mot?

[belly_VTS]

nar mate no management light, thought it would fail the mot anyways with not having the cat on?

[riggsy]

Yeh deff a fail if the cat isnt present!

[Yates]

not sure if its been said, but i think the mk2 vts has 2 sensors (i know thats been said) one is in the manifold i thought and one in the cat, as i had a cat put on mine when i got the car, got my mate to do it and he looked up and sure he said thats where the other one is

[boz]

yep defo two, one in fanimold and the other in the cat. wont be an mot fial for management light.
