RE: Tech Question: 16V passat engine again.

["Patrick Bureau" <pbureau@home.com>]

I dunno I have been running for  7 years without a o2 sensor connected
on mine (fused to exaust manifold and never bothered to replace it)
and it clears texas (read california state) emissions just fine and
runs fine... and I have a cat.

I have, at times, removed the OXS sensor. Sometimes it significantly
reduces your gas mileage, but it will run, and generally run fine.
Don't
do this if you have a cat, as it will plug it up. Also, it will
probably
increase your emissions, so I wouldn't recommend it for a road car.
Some people report having passed emissions with flying colors with no
cat
and no O2 sensor. Well hey - then why not? I'm about to try : )
