Cat

[DevilDamo]

Driving to work this morning and the car came to a halt. I had run out of petrol. Now... as the warning light never came on, I never knew how low I was on fuel. Anyhow, the AA managed to sort me out and I was on my way. However, I've now noticed a tinny sound and I'm 99% sure I've fcuked the cat up as it sounds like the baffles. Is this common to fcuk up as a result of running out of fuel? Any ideas on how much a replacement cat is?

The cat isnt going to break if you run out of fuel, that I know for certain.

Unless it was time for the baffles/cat to go then!?!

I'd get a couple of spanners and have a look in the cat before you decide thats the problem.

200+ for a new cat

Yeh, I was warned about that. I'll have a look over the weekend. If it's nothing I can see, I'll give Mike at Rentech a call.

Thanks

does your car not tell you how much is left? Surely if it was on red you would of noticed?

As already stated...

yes but you look at how much you have got left on the gauge not wait for the light to come on?
