Hi

Anyone know of a good used Bank 1 cat for a X350 2005 V6 Petrol?

thanks 

Jonathon

Only my opinion, which admittedly you did not ask for. Is buying a second hand Catalytic Converter not a bit of a risky thing? I personally think it is one of those items that needs to be a new purchase with a written warranty.

Best Wishes and Regards, John

Hi

Getting new ones is tricky at the moment and also this is my MLCC (mid life crisis car) and have already spent loads more (inevitably) than i should have done so trying to keep the costs down a bit.  I can get Diesel cats all over the place - but not the 3.0 petrol.

For interest I have:

  • replaced 2 of the 20" Sepangs with 'better' ones
  • put 4 x Continental rain sports on
  • Replace ALL of the front suspension arms and bushes - handles great now 
  • New rear Discs
  • Serviced - inc plugs (which is what took out the cat as a coil pack then failed)
  • Replace the GSM phone module with a bluetooth one from an X-Type
  • Modded the radio for an Aux input and together with a 7" Tablet and an Echo Auto now have voice activated bluetooth streaming and functional sat nav
  • aded a lower mesh grille
  • fixed the drivers side door mirror

Oddest bit is the clock - which runs backwards

All fun!

Hi Jonathan

Did you solve your cat problem. I'm in the same boat (2005 X350 3.0 petrol). Jaguar apparently no longer supply N/S Cat but still do o/s at the bargain price of £986.92 plus vat. I've tried the suggestions in the replies to your post but no luck.

Regards

I've a pair of cats off my 2007 X350 Super V8 as I upgraded to sports cats. 

I don't know offhand if they are interchangeable with cats for 3.0. If they are I can send more details.

It's a 2004. Careless operation of numeric key pad!

Replaced the cat on my 2005 S Type Sport with new components. Would not risk used parts of this type. Yes, I accept the argument of cost of new parts BUT used parts could prove very expensive if you happen to buy a bad one. It is not just the cost of parts but also maybe having to do or pay for the work to be done twice. Also, running with defective cat can also cause other problems that can be costly.

My whole experience (and photos) are depicted in S-Type Section.

Best Wishes , John
