Has anybody seen INSIDE a TDI\'s catalytic converter?
Well?
Is it a "straight through" kind of thing...nothing but daylight on the other side?
Or do the exhaust gases actually have to go through a bunch of "stuff"?
The reason I ask is, I'm curious whether mine is plugged up from all the oil and crap from my turbo failure. Raw motor oil was actually dripping from the tailpipe, and the car smoked like crazy for an hour after I started up the new engine.
I don't want to go to the trouble of taking out the cat for "inspection" (
) if it can't be plugged up in the first place.
What's it like in there?
