172 Cat - where's the code?

[PaulV]

Hi

I am wanting to sell my OEM 172 cat to a scrappy but they want me to confirm the cat's "code" number. They said it should be somewhere on the outside but i can't find it (there's a LOT of surface corrosion). Please can someone help me with where to look? ideally a photo as I'll try and lightly sand off the rust covering in that area (I am guessing if they can't see the code they won't buy it from me).

(fyi, it's not useable on a car - it passed MOT but the mounting points have rusted away).

Cheers!
Paul

Square one? Should get about £150ish for it easy enough.

Is this a square one? Cheers

 

[bloke]

yup.

Thanks. 150 is a lot more than I was thinking looking at previous posts, but hope you’re right. No sign of any number...anyone know what number should be hidden on there?

Can't remember the code off top of my head but I'm 100% on the price.

Result at 150. Why so much,

Just seem to of gone up this year. Shame I've got non left to sell though.

Just had a quote £163 (collected I think). Result! That'll almost pay for the used OEM replacement I bought from Renparts the other week.

Just dropped it off at scrapcatalysts.co.uk in Manchester for an instant payment of 163 by bacs. Nice guys would recommend them. They said the price of Palladium is high at the moment and petrol cats have gone up (diesel down). Anyway thanks for the help all.

PS they didn’t need the code just the earlier photo
