Hi,

Ford have told me, they think the cause of my problems is now......... the catalytic converter clogged.

I love it how they say think and not 100% sure, just like everything else theyve told me lol. anyway, can is be unclogged somehow? or is the only way is to get a new Cat?

thanks

Forte gas treatment has substances that will loosen or clean our your engine and your cat.

If you get the advanced formular it may/may not help, and the other alternative is a new cat or aftermarket cat.

way more hassle then it's worth a sports cat gives same power but the benifit is you don't have to remove it for an MOT for it to pass!
