Author Topic: Catalytic Converter Theft (Read 1017 times)

Hi, I have recently been the victim of catalytic converter theft from my 2007 Jazz and unfortunately can't secure where we park it to prevent it happening again once fixed. I am therefore looking to upgrade to a 2018 mk3 Jazz sport as both myself and the wife love the Jazz but I need to know for sure whether these are safe from cat theft. Is the catalytic converter inaccessible within the engine bay or are they still exposed? Any help greatly appreciated.

Inaccessible without a pit of hoist and a lot of work.

Snap. My wife’s cat was stolen from her Mk1 and it was a most unpleasant experience to say the least.
It prompted us to upgrade to a 2018 CVT SE which we are bowled over by. Had the cat not been stolen we’d be soldiering on with the Mk1. Glad we upgraded.

Civic is pretty much an entirely different vehicle to the Jazz, people do not seem compelled to overtake a Civic when they are behind one

Although if you get bowled over by any vehicle the results will not be good ( depending on the speed it was traveling when it bowled you over

)
