Your cat may well have come from the factory empty. When my '84 had the heads replaced at 45k by the dealer under warranty (yes, they replaced the heads to fix the dreaded leak!) the cat was empty, and this was a California spec car! Passed emissions just fine. The tech told me he had seen that before. If your rig was made for the Canadian market maybe that's why it's empty. Cats were very expensive in those days.

Had to do a quick fix and do a temp replacement of cat converter. As is my habit, I thought I'd make this chore into a little fun job. http://shufti.wordpress.com/2014/03/28/vanagon-jury-rigged-fix-for-deceased- cat/ Alistair |
