General Panda Exhaust

[thexpert]

I have a question. Since my Exhaust from my fiat 1000 Cl i.e. 1990 is damaged Iahve to replace it. I can buy an Exhaust from an Panda build in 1987 from someone. Does this fit on my newer Panda without a problem? Please help. Kind regards,

Martijn de Haan

I'm assuming that the 1987 model is a FIRE engined Panda? These were introduced from 1986 so I would have thought that it would fit ... but I could be hopelessly wrong

Well, there's seems to be some difference in a single and a double "thing" in the exhaust. Tha's all I know off.

You say yours is a 1000CLie ( model not sold in the UK) so I assume that it is SPI but does it have a CAT? Does the 1987 car that you propose to take the exhaust from, also have SPI and/or a CAT ?
Do you have the VIN numbers of both vehicles ?

Which kind of exhaust does panda 4x4 has? Do they have catalyst?

Hello Marko.
Which exhaust your 4X4 has will depend on year and model.
Carb with standard exhaust, SPI with standard exhaust and SPI with a catalitic converter in the exhaust, are all possible.

If you are not sure, send me your VIN number and I will check it out for you.

Actually I don't have panda yet, but i want to know why Slovenia will probably get new law about exhaust gas. Therefore I want to know which pandas do have catalysts. can I get 7 or 8 years old panda with it?

In the UK, all new petrol cars had to be fitted with a CAT from 1992 onwards. I am told but cannot be certain, that in Europe this practice stated as early as 1989.

As Panda production officially ended on the 5th September 2003, I think it is reasonable to assume that any Panda of seven or eight years will have a CAT as standard. The legality of removing a CAT and replacing with a non CAT exhaust ( this would not be acceptable in the UK ) will depend on the situation in your country.
Please let us know how you get on.
Rgds, Pete.
