Cat Disintegrating(VTR)
 

Just wondered if anyone has come across this problem before.Its a mk2 VTR car in manifold but when you drive the car its a constant "ting ting ting" noise that sounds like your heatshield vibrating.found out today from a guy at work with a citroen that this is what the noise actually is as inside the cat is ceramic that is breaking up and rattling about

just mines thats nakered then lol

what exactly do you want to know, am confused your asking for comments tbh

yeh sorry kinda worded it wrong.was wondering if anyone has had this problem with there cat.heard that the noise i've got is down to the cat disintegrating but it sounds a bit of a daft thing to happen so just wondered if anyone else has come across this.sorry pred

think its probablies the baffles inside mate, they get hot and over time they just fall to bits, all you can do is get a new cat :)

cheers predator.was thinking if thats the case then probably go for a new manifold/de-cat

mine did this so i just decatted it and put the cat on for m.o.t time as long as it doesnt blow and the emissions are ok you should be fine

sounds like a plan.thanks guys

id still get a cat though for mots just from the scrrappy id say its only going to be used for MOTs and takes less that an hour to fit one

My car stinks... yukkkk.. so are they cheap to buy?
