How can you not improve it in a shed with a blow torch hammer and chisel. Dags we really need sarcasm font.

Born and Bred in the RSA Posted 24/07/13 01:06 AM Share Posted 24/07/13 01:06 AM Euro cars are all very similar when it comes to the complexity of these sensors.Had a few customers play games with their Volvos and its ended up costing them a packet becuase you pretty much have to use Genuine parts and then get it pugged into the factorydiagnostic system that only dealers have which then = $$$ Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/85706-gutting-the-cat-in-a-vw-jetta/page/2/#findComment-1409451 Share on other sites More sharing options...
