  1. I've just seen your other post about your car being a Cat C Are you going for a VIC check? If it is a VIC check, that means Vehicle Identity Check. The check takes around 5 minutes. All they check is that the chassis number on the car matches the one they have on DVLA records. And they charge you £50 for the privilege! Don't worry about a VIC check. It's nothing at all to do with the standard or quality of repair, it is just checking the numbers match up. Good Luck!
  2. That is the route I am looking at going down, it looks much cheaper than having one built for the car. The engine has no mods, so I'm not worried about restricting performance as engine wise (apart from the EGR delete) it is as it came out of the factory. Maybe in the future I'll get the insides of the cat removed, so it still looks standard but is hollow! Thanks very much! I'll bear that in mind
  3. Thanks for the comments guys - I need a full system from the Turbo back As someone has stated, the TDi has 1 Cat and No Sensors. I posted to see if anyone had a full system made and an idea of the prices - as now is prime time to get a new one as it is blowing from the bottom of the flexi, and where the centre pipe joins the backbox. The centre box has damage from where someone has scraped over something at some point and the backbox is probably going to need replacing in the next year or so! That's going to need a hell of a lot of exhaust putty! I want to de-cat the car as it doesn't really need one being diesel, but I can't find de-cat pipes for sale as ideally I just want bolt on replacement parts. Is £260 reasonable for a Cat Back? So from the Turbo back from Powerflow, i'd be looking at around £350? Thanks again
  4. Hi all, As the title states, my exhaust is in pretty bad shape! I need a complete system really. Does anyone recommend anywhere to have it replaced at a reasonable cost? Or does anyone have a complete 2nd hand exhaust I can buy from them? Thanks in advance
  5. Cheers for the welcome Once the car is back after it cambelt change I will start a progress thread.
  6. Hi All, I have been browsing the fourm for the last few days and thought I should joy and say Hi We Picked up our Lupo on saturday just gone and loving it so far. It drives really nice, smooth and quiet engine, nice gearchange and plenty of poke. Bought it locally, and have only seen a couple more Lupos around and only 1 other TDi. The seller had recently had all the brakes done, and the car doesn't need anything mechanical doing to it other than a cambelt change. Have got a few mods to do though So far, we've blanked the EGR and put a new headunit in and booked it in for a cambelt change. Black Interior Plastics Black Seats, Carpet and Roof Lining Tint Rear Windows De-Cat Flyeye Tint all round Door Speakers Lower it a bit Paint the Wheels Repair Elec Windows Repair Door check straps Wind Deflectors Change the little mirrors to standard/2 stubbys Only have the one picture for now, but as the mods start coming along we'll start up a project thread
