are you sure its the cat, and not just the flexi-join?

[32omegalad]

it's been in vauxhall today as its been throwing up faults that my mate's code reader cant read even on the gas reader the readings are out of mot pass rate

Have a read of this thread http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1206389782

There's a known issue on the 3.2 and your CAT may not have "failed" per-se; the 3.2 ECU is extremely sensitive and a bit unfair to tired pre-cats.


EDIT: in the light of our most recent post this may not be relevant for you, but still worth noting.

When I last needed cats x2 on my Elite some considerable time ago I know my Vx dealer first quoted £800 for the two, but then the parts manager I knew suggested I had two refurbs on a special part number known only to them for £400!   I expect things have changed now (the prices?!) but those 'special part no.' cats may still be available.  If so that is one route to take, but I feel sure others in the oof will have other ideas!

VX price is £711 per side.

[VXL V6]

Due to your location may I suggest you PM 'The Boy' who has a Tech II and will give you a far better diagnosis than VX before spending money on Cats.

You may not get a reply from him until tomorrow evening though.
