Title: Lambda
Post by: Jezza-7 on May 07, 2010, 03:45:23 PM
Fitting my new exhaust system this weekend and it will be a de-cat system, will it be ok to buy the lambda that says fitment G40 (catalyst), from gsf?
Once its fitted i will have to run it on the old lambda till i get a new one as im not paying £127 from vw when gsf do same one for 1/3 of the price.

I bought a Bosch one and it's super fine... Buy it... There is no need to pay silly money for the genuine vag part, it's the same...

Just checked and its not a bosch one, made by some other company, euro car parts sell them so will try them now. Thanks for your help.

Ring your local bosch dealer/ agent. If you get stuck try these guys, £57 springs to mind, I did buy one about 4 years ago mind. http://www.truckstophawkes.co.uk/ I'm not sure if they do mail order, if not gimme a shout and I'll get it for you and post it to you 8)

My local GSF will get a Bosch one in you ask them for it. They dont keep them in though. They supplied with a non bosch one for my Corrado and I had it on less than a year when it failed. They refunded me and ordered me a Bosch one in.
