So - just because someone who doesn’t agree with your opinion about de-coring cats deserves his head jumping on? What a cretinous thing to say....Personally, I’m getting a bit fed up of a minority of so called experts on here trumpeting on about the inevitability of any Elgrand that doesn’t decore cats suffering catastrophic engine failure. What utter bollocks.
We live in a democracy, mate, & my opinion as well as any others are just as valid as anyone else’s. Get a grip.
Yes, because it's bad advice.
It might be a small group of people who constantly rant about it, but how many engines would have blown up if the warnings were not there?
I know of at least a dozen of these engines that have popped due to cat blockage. That's just me. One person.
That's 12 people who have either sold their car as scrap, or paid £2500-£4500 for a replacement/rebuild of an engine.
That's a LOT of money to most people, and if I've saved ONE person from having to spend that money for the advice I've given, then I'm happy.
I had a Peugeot 306 diesel once, and you could manually alter the turbo and fuelling to get more bhp. I did not know, however, that there were different revisions of the same engine, and the one I had would shoot a rod if tweaked. I tweaked it, and piston #1 shit itself. I scrapped that car because it wasn't worth replacing, but I wish someone had ranted and raved about it as it might have saved me a whole lot of money and hassle at the time.
The rear cats blocking is NOT an opinion. It is a fact. It does happen, and it does kill engines.
If you don't like hearing about it, leave. Otherwise, ignore it, because other people DO appreciate being warned of potential dangers with their cars.
Edit: No I do not condone physical violence. It was a comment made in jest. So take a break from the keyboard bud and have a beer, chill out and don't get wound up by things someone said on the Internet.
