Have a look under the bonnet, feel up under where the battery would be if it was in the front. Under there you will find a wiring connector, if it's blanked off, then you don't have a cat. If there is another wiring loom plugged in going down to a lambda sensor then you have a cat... rip it out!

Wouldn't it be better to look under the car see if there is a kat?E30Mark wrote:Have a look under the bonnet, feel up under where the battery would be if it was in the front.

THE LAMBDA plugs into a socket under the battery tray in the front
so its a bit easier to check than crawling about the floor lol
under batt tray youll feel a big round plug
if theres nothing plugged into it then there aint no cat
