I believe the 1.6tgdi cat bolts on to the manifold and is located in the engine bay rather than underneath the car.
Call me cynical but there’s no point.
A. It’s not your property it’s Motability’s
B. They just cut it off and trash it for the contents
C. The people who buy it off them couldn’t give a monkeys where it came from and won’t report it to anyone
Please excuse spelling/typos. Apart from being a clot it turns out I had one on my cerebellum that's now causing various problems!
But FOR OUR CONVIENIANCY ,yes we dont none of us want hasstle of theft surely yes.
One thing about my drive is : a jack cant be put under car from right side ,&,IF, my nieghbour is parked on her drive,jack cant be put under other side, but she often parks on road.
Think its on right side car ??
Which part do you think is the cat in your picture?
Yes if you look at my 2nd link at part No.11, it shows the centre muffler section, as in your picture 🙂
So its roughly under front seats ??
Under the engine cover and forms part of the exhaust manifold.
Ahh well thats better than in middle of underneath, im not mechanically minded as you can see lol. Lets hope these cat thieves are sorted out.
