Chris, Obviously poor research on our rep's part. (I just spoke to her and straightened her out.) No, only a CA model would have an 02 sensor. We're backordered on our usual supply of U.S. made aircooled Vanagon CAT's for a week or two, so we bit the bullet and dropshipped you an OEM Volkswagen/Canada one from the distributor. (I say 'bit the bullet' because the one we sent you cost us as much as you paid for itl) It should have either had no hole for a sensor, or come with a plug to fill the hole if there was one. (I've seen them both ways.) In any case, as Kaye noted, we have sent you a plug at no charge, which you should have in a couple of days. Just to make sure you got the right one, the CAT you got should have a flange on one end but not the other, and probably has a part number sticker saying 043 131 701 E. I checked and that is what we ordered, so unless the distributor actually sent the wrong CAT entirely, you have the right unit but it's just missing the plug that should have been included in the box. - Ron Salmon The Bus Depot, Inc. www.busdepot.com (215) 234-VWVW _____________________________________________ Toll-Free for Orders by PART # : 1-866-BUS-DEPOT |
