Hi, just wondering...the bits under the wing of my uktt...what are they for...I see they are linked to the exhaust just before the cats....are they summit to do with emmissions...just askin because I'm planning to decat and thought I could get rid of that lot!!

 

any ideas would be appreciated....

I think they are called PCV's but don't quote me. I don't think you should remove them though.

No no no, not PCV's they are ontop of the engine.

 

Think thats the Cat overheating wiring mate. Might be wrong though (I normaly am)

ok thanx, but if you remove the cats, surely if that is the case, you do not need this lot?

Ok, my mistake but there is something under the wings with three letter initials, I think!

I'm normall wrong also but I dont think UK TT's have cat overheat warning light so no cat overheat gubbins?

Are the AIVS not in the wing?

LOL

Great advice so far peeps!

 

AIV's

 

Yes you can strip it all out --->

what a star u r m8...thanx to all and chris.. out with the screw drivers and spanners now me thinks!!!

forgot to mention, as all thinks mostly nissan ,, what is the point in having them in the first place and for all the people who have decatted, what do they do with the cable and bits to the exhausts, just remove em too?

:dance: Well im back on top advise giving form today!!!! :dance: :duffer:

how many pints today m8??? :dance: :dance:

sorry thick moment here lol

 

if ur running decats they can be removed??

 

what do they do anyway??

 

what is the advantage of removing them if any?

Basically they pass fresh/clean air into the cats to help dilute the emissions.

Get rid of them to help destroy this awful planet! :dance: :rofl:

ok

 

think they will be removed in due course

 

:):):)

one little quick question here, on the explanation to get rid of this lot, the guy in question just bends the linking pipe to the exhaust and obviously gets rid of everything else....if you decatt, i take it you just get rid of that pipe as well when you ditch the cats?

On this age of car they probably aren't doing anything anyway and often start making loud gurgling noises.

There's a write up on servicing them on twinturbo.net if you feel the need to keep them but if you've decatted then they are just a big pile of heavy junk.

ok chris

 

cheers

 

mine is decatted so they will be removed :)
