Overview

Late-model engines watch catalyst efficiency closely, so a 2006-2008 Audi A3 2.0L needs a converter loaded to factory levels.

Coverage spans 4 model years: 2006-2008 Audi A3 (Base), 2006-2008 Volkswagen GTI (Base, Fahrenheit), 2006-2008 Volkswagen Jetta (GLI, Wolfsburg Edition) and 2007-2009 Volkswagen Eos (2.0T, Base, Komfort, Lux, Turbo). It ships at roughly 16 lb.
