    Hi Folks, My wife's '02 Beetle, (2.0 and automatic) is in dire need of a new catalytic convertor. I'd like to do it myself. To make my life easier I want to get a bolt-in assembly (also I suck at welding). There's a big range in prices out there. I don't want to spend more than I have to...

    2003 "Color Concept" New Beetle with the 1.8T engine: My exhaust system has detached where it connects to the engine. It has been obvious for a couple of weeks now, just from the sound and the smell, and tonight I crawled under to take a look. The pipe has sheared off right where it connects...

I swear it is a round honeycomb ball of material that everytime I would full throttle it would stick in exhaust end of converter causing lack of power and sounded like a wwssshhh sound like a vac or boost leak. One has already come out on its...

    Had my 2000 NB for about a year and a half now; just recently the CEL came on (I forget what the codes were, scanned them & they were for the cat). I've also got the typical rattling sound, smell, and loss of HP that comes with a dead catalytic converter. I have already had it replaced once...
