ex Clio 172 owner :(
My standard cat needs to come off and be replaced.
I have a second hand cat to put on (I won't go into why I didn't go de-cat/sports/new etc).
Is it basically a case of unscrewing the four bolts, unscrewing the two lambda sensors and removing?
Then, refitting the new one?
I'm expecting to have to fit new bolts. Any particular size and sort I should be going for?
Is it worth cleaning the lambda sensors? If so what with?
Am I right in thinking I put paste on the cat pipe where it joins the centre pipe but not the manifold?
How does that work? Does it just plug into the manifold neatly and snug?
Also, how am I going to get under the car? Is it ok to use two trolley jacks at once and or axle stands? Where do I position the axle stands?
Lol sorry for sooo many questions but it's all greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
