I notice that the HDI 110 has a cat on the exhaust.
Does it cause problems?
Can it be removed without upsetting the engine management?

Lamda sensors are not fitted to diesel engined cars they are for petrol only. The cat fitted to diesels is to reduce NOX gases, whereas the MOT test only tests for smoke density so therefore removing the cat will not affect the test result. I took the one off my Xantia when it was just a year old, its passed every MOT since with flying colours.
Why would you want to remove something that has a very good reason for being there? Diesel cats don't wear out like petrol cats, and they do a very good job of reducing some of the unfortunate nasties that diesel engine produce. If you want more power from your HDI, just chip it or fit a booster box - but leave the cat in place, please!

NiSk, I don't want to remove it.[}:)] I'm just looking to buy a Xantia hdi 110 and wondered if they cause problems when getting on a bit as per my thread http://www.andyspares.com/discussionfor ... C_ID=8919d [:)][?]
