Catalytic Converter Replacement
I've been dreading this job even though it looks straight-forward. Trying to be an optimist.
My question is has anyone had experience purchasing aftermarket catalytic converters for the V70. I have a NA 2.4 liter with a plugged cat that needs to be replaced. FCP does not list one but I called and they recommend DEC on the west coast. DEC's cat for this car can be had for about $450 (not chump change, my friends) and the best price on the internet for an original Volvo is about $900 and they want the old one back or a $100 core charge. Anyone had experience with this? Thinking the install will be easy. How about original volvo cat vs DEC?
