Are these Volkswagen cats interchangeable?

Hi,

Would a 1.6 FSI Volkwagen Golf's front catalytic converter be the same as the 2005 Volkwagen Passat (new shape) 1.6 FSI's?

Hi Richard,

No, because the two cars are based on two different platforms. Although the engines are the same, the ancillary fittings and their attachment points will be very different.
