        Go to autozone...the scan for free. driving with a bad cat can lead to fouled plugs, o2 sensors. Fix it or it'll just get worse...and more expensive.

            What happens when your girlfriend likes Mustangs and you let her drive your F-Body. It ends up in a total loose, and she gets you to get a Rustang!

                Quit guessing and get it scanned.

                    holmes, a bad cat will set a DTC. VWs are kinda known for that code. go get it scanned at autozone.
