Hello,

My name is Adam. I am form Poland Warsaw. I own Carrera 2 996 '2004 American version. Unfortunately I have a problem with I have broken left catalysator. It's mechanical problem. The porcelain inside has been crushed. Now I am trying to find used catalysator but somebody from www.teile.pl told that there is a difference between European and American cat. because of different exhaust pollution norms it could be still a problem with ignitation on dashboard. It means that when I put European cat computer can still show a mistake (CHECK ENGINE ON).

Does anybody ever had such experience and problem? Could you please advise me what can do? I can of course buy new one in Porsche dealer or mentioned above site but the prices are so high.

Regards,

Adam

BTW – system is equipped with 2 lambdas.

A dealer should certainly be able to tell you if there is a difference. Unfortunately my PET is only for US spec cars.

Look on the catalytic converter for the part number and post it. We may be able to find out with the part number.

But my car is an US version :) as I wrote above.

Ok, I'll try to read a part number.
