No, Sir, Your VTS is wrong...
So I ordered a Piper 4-1 Manifold,
I just rang citroen to buy a Gasket.
He tells me I should have my cat in manifold, and should see it from the engine bay...
Tells me my VTS is "wrong" for having a cat under the car..
I said as far as Im aware, no VTS had a cat in the manifold...
Computer says No.
- Ugh, Citroen Ashford isnt a good dealership.
~ in the end he sold me a gasket for my manifold for 3.70....
does that sound right?

He should have a knowledge of the cars Citroen made but it seems they employ complete mongs half the time. Probably has something to do with that equal opportunity crap.

Nah Kelly, this is the Parts Manager,
very well spoken / well dressed guy.
But if it's wrong, I'll tell him one of my e-friends called him a Tard.

i expect you could, but i read you need 2, so i got 2, and when i took the old ones off there were 2.
i doubt he knew, there are numbest set of fooking nuts in the world at the dealers, i went in for a part number, but couldn't give the exact part, so went home, found it and went back, when i got there he said "i can't give you the part number", coont!

Price sounds about right mate. I bought 2 for my vtr from euro car parts, think they cost me £5 something for the two. Much better than citroen imo.
