2002 S8 Catalytic offside convertor fitting
Hi
does anybody know how you get access to the top bolts to fit this? The rest is a piece of cake, the top bolts are right under the offside head and look problematic to get too. All suggestions welcome! Thanks! Last edited by Duffy; 6th April 2011 at 06:04 PM.

Take the offside wheel off. Remove the wheel arch liner and they are right in front of you!

Hi all.
spent Thursday doing this job, despite the fact that the exhaust has done 147K the exhaust manifold nuts and bolts were like new and split without any problem. The only difficult thing was getting the upper lambda sensor off in situ (The downpipe/cat won't come out with it on) and accomodating the length of the cat assembly (It needs to hang more or less vertiocally to come out). Other than that a walk in the park and problem solved!
