Siani 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2009 Hi, was this question ever answered, as I have the same problem with the same model and year, and would like to have an idea of what it is before being charged an arm and a leg for something when I take it to be looked at.

Siani 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2009 That would be the catalytic convertor? Sorry to need it spelt out, but I'm in the dark about mechanical stuff. Is it a big job, will it cost me a lot, as I'm also on a shoe string budget. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On your car you can take the cat out without any problems and just fit a coby bullet in it's place about $150 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
