I would have thought the upstream one would be a lamda (oxygen) for stoich. and the downstream one a temp sensor to confirm that back pressure was being generated by the cat as heat. Either way, like Tim said, did you just tap the sensors bar into the new de-cat ...

Removing the Cat

Hi everyone

Thanks

Thanks for the comments guys

Spent most of the weekend taking the car apart and putting it back together - very quirky. Hard to believe comressed air is used for the central locking.

As for mods I was thinking of painting the wheel centres anthracite but the chrome, gaudy as it is has kinda grown ...

Hello from New Zealand, new GTi owner

Hello all

After lurking about reading in posts in this forum doing research I bought my first Polo Gti yesterday. Mine is a Japanese import (which is where most of our cars come from) and I believe it is a European spec. It is a 5 door 2001 red model. It has a full Recaro interior, Bilstein B16 ...
