Hi all.
I need to buy a new catalytic converter for my car and was wondering if you could all give me your opinion on the best price that I have found so far.
So far after some searching on the web the cheapest quote i've had is £145.
Thats all in...V.A.T, delivery, everything...and comes with a 2 year warranty.
Does anybody know where I could go to possibly beat that price.....................and what do you think of that price....good or bad?
My car is a Y reg 2.2 CD auto.
Thanks in advance :y
-
This is the one i got a year ago .... has the proper pre-cat as well .. no problems with it so far :y :y

So ignoring the postage then thats exactly the same price as my cheapest quote so far.
Do you think its going to be pretty hard to get one cheaper then £145 then mate.
Is that about as cheap as they come?
-
Thats a fair price mate TBH,
PLEASE make sure it has a pre cat! otherwise you will have trouble with the EML as i did! >:(
:y
-
Im not sure if you will get cheaper on one that has the proper pre-cat as well as the main cat .... most of the other patterns dont have a pre cat and just rely on the main cat ... as i said i have had no problems with mine... my local garage only took £30 to fit :y

Agreed ... email and ask and make sure it has the pre-cat as in the picture :y

Many many thanks to you both for warning me about buying one without the pre-cat.
I had no idea and may very well have gone out and bought one....in fact I probably would have ::)
You've just saved someone a lot of money and hassle with those replys......thankgod I posted the question on here first. :y :y :y :y :y :y :y

No probs :y
Just make sure the one in the pic is the one you get ... been there with really cheap pattern stuff and had no end of probs with P0420 ... i bought the one in the pic and had no probs at all and didnt need to replace my O2 sensors as Vx said i did .. there "experts" said my rear O2 sensor was knackered ;D ;D ;D ;D :y

I found out the hard way mate,got a pattern part from my mates garage,had all sort of bother with it,i then sourced one with a pre cat on ebay and fitted it,EML solved
But as there was nothing wrong with the 1st part,the suppliers wouldn't take it back
So i was out of pocket for the price of 2 downpipes to get one fitted and working properly >:(
-
Thanks lads.....will make sure like you said :y :y

I seem to remember we both had problems at the same time with cats .... did i not recommend the same exhaust to you as well ... sure it was you , i think you asked after i fitted mine if it was ok :y :y
Edit ... i used to be called Proz on here untill something happened to my profile :y

Yes you did point me to the exhaust and yes we did consult on it!

Hi folks,
Am needing a new Cat (looks like it's gona fall apart and got the P0420 poping up the EML)and fortunately found this post first thankfully :y
I was just gona order one identical to the one fitted, this type http://www.onlineautomotive.co.uk/ProductImages/321996.jpg
Thanks for the link Shrek http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Cat-Catalytic-Converter-Vauxhall-Omega-2-2i-16v-99-/320396351654?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM
So i am defo better getting the pre cat version? Auto / Manual the same? (would this have been fitted origionally? ) Y plate Manual 2001 2.2 CD 16v Petrol
Would rather have the proper part even if it was dearer, but it's great that the pre cat one is cheaper! :y
-
Don't forget to weigh your old ones in, a friend of mine who works in the scrap metal market told me last week old used cats are worth £80 each, so if its a V6 you have two!

I would say your better with the pre-cat ... i put on a cheap pattern part with just the main cat and suffered terribly with the P0420 still ... i bought the one i put in the like above and have had no problems since ... the original set up was the same as in the link .
Just make sure you ask them if the one in the pic is the one you will get :y

Cheers Proz will do :y
