well someone played u, but not to worry passat is a solid car even if it has 200k miles , siena can vouch also for that

now back to, removal of cat, i idid mine in enugu, but i presently stay in abuja, all u need to do is look for a trusted exhaust mechanic, if u dont know one, one can be referred to u by friends, u know there worth, when u get there, ask him if he knows how to remove, catalyst from exhaust, his explanation to u, will either convince u, or make u change yur mind, but most guru exhaust mechanics, know what a catalyst stuff is and how to remove, as siena said they should be careful with the connection going to d lambada probe( they should disconnect it and keep the wire taped in a secure location, no shaking) then they can remove the lamaba probe(catalyst).

as for fuel consumption, from my interaction with siena, removal of the probe, will cause the car to recalculate, air/fuel mix using the MAF, and dis will not cause any fuel consumption as long as your MAF is in order, but again from sienas interaction, they r leaded lambada probes( which his supposed to help get the part numbers for us and post for us to buy in case we have access to one ), if u get hold of these, u r better off, putting it in place of the unleaded one, and all will be well.

now dis brings me to my question, in nigeria, vw has an office, they sell cars, i would like to know if the cars they sell use leaded or unleaded, cos if its leaded, u may take d car to them , and tell them u want a leaded oxygen sensor, or if its unleaded, what do they do to the ones they sell so that d oxygen sensors dont fail instantly, u get my drift.

hope dis helps?

@chipass

i have not done it on mine yet , ( when car arrives )but i own a 1992 passat and i removed it, it was an exhaust mechanic that removed it,take d car to a exhaust specialist, tell him u wanna remove d catalyst, he will understand, it usually is in d first pipe from d back of d engine block. if u remove it, i bet u yur car will feel like super trust me, pls
ansa me dis few questions,
how long have u driven yur car and when u bot it how many miles was on it, and how many when d check engine light started blinking? thanks

any questions , feel free to throw at me, since we r passat owners

this is d worst news i have heard since, not happy at all

oya show us, and feed us back all yur details with the insurance guys

insurance all d way then , need to look for one where i will be looked at,lol

God's my number one insurer

@waoosa

u mean if u pay 5% of 2.5million now, God forbid, anything happens to d car, in a month, the 5% will handle it, problem free

@fotodaddy,
dont mind me, i will stop bugging, i just like been pretty sure of what to do, when a time comes for such

as for d catalyst, i will drive d car d way it is till i notice loss of power, cos it happened to my passat few yrs ago, then i will de-cat or use leaded cat.

make u know scratch my car oh God Dey!!!

@sheni

nice but which company do we choose from, d best?

funny thing is d new model passat been sold in nigeria by VW uses unleaded , so what is happening or am i wrong?

so what u r saying in earnest, is one can de-cat, no reprogramming and d air-fuel mixture will be alright, car will be fine, cos d minimal effect wont be noticed, and dis should work over extended periods right?

secondly, if i put a new pipe in place of d catlyst pipe, without reprogramming, the ecu, will it still work well or i must have to reprogram

do u think i can get those leaded lambarda parts, if possible part numbers, so that i can change em. by d way europe spec is it leaded or unleaded?

@fotodaddy,

u know most of dis insurance company can be a stiff neck when it comes to redeeming, so which do u know thats okay, and can i insure my small car(toks) and d percentage is it still between 3 - 5%

mental, hmmm, i don kolo since na from rehab i dey post, i no easy oh, u know we IT gurus, like been meticulous to a fault @ a young age , so d earlier dis car comes d better for me, cos i am restricted to d rehab center and i need to be free

my broda, na so oh

@jenju

ETD & ETA

ok,thanks

@siena

ok pls check them to see what they have

secondly, if i gut or remove, how does d car now calculate d mixture correctly, since there are no o2 sensors, i think de cating is better, just a new pipe welded in place of d 02 neck pipe.right, i did it in my 92passat, some triangular stuff or so, with lots of holes, d day i removed it, it was like d car was removed of a lump in d throat?

50k for sub, explain

well buddy, i dont know, but i prefer u choose tracking device, but when u get d price tell me

how much does d insurance cost, waoosa

i hear u say d catalyt can block
when d loop is closed will is still work as to block d catalyst or will it stop working?

@siena

thats why i like u,

so with vagcom, i can close d loop and d lambada will be impotent, am sure u know how to do it, so why not give me a guide, with d materials i told u i got can i do it on my own, thanks

and afta loop closing d car will still have d normal power right?

@siena

if i dont change d o2 sensor and just use octane booster, what will happen, thanks

hmmm, r u really sure, if so, nice to hear that , cos my car needs premium, so it says in d manual 91 octane

abegi, pls go look for your own jare, whats d world turning into

sorry to hear that

are u saying your friend is dead, or seriuosly injured

Folks ,

where can one buy premium fuel ( high octane fuel ) in abuja & lagos?

and who knows d type of fuel ( octane number ) we have in nigeria?
