Polo Polo 1.4L Inline 4 Mk3, 2000 year - Wire hanging from underneath the car

[Mislav]

Hello guys. I

'm new around here and I've joined to seek for help and advice about recent problem involving my Polo 1.4L Inline 4 Mk3, 2000 year. I've came to parking lot one day in the morning after leaving car in perfectly good condition evening before. I sit in the car, gave car a contact (waited aprox. 3-5 sec before starting the car), followed with turning the keys and starting the engine. Right away I've heared a sound from from exhaust pipe 10x louder then it normaly sounds. I looked undernearth the car and found a wire hanging on the road which looks like someone cut it and left it hanging. Now I am no car expert and I am not sure if something was cutted and stolen from undernearth the car or not. So now I found myself here on GCF asking for advice from your community.
I would really appriciate any suggestions or advice you guys might have.
Thanks in advance.

King regards,

Mislav Červar

Something's certainly not right. Take it to your service garage!

I think it might be catalizator. The person cut trought the exhaust pipe and took catalizator. Correct me if I am wrong.
In that case if they took catalizator and I need new one. Is there any site or recommended trustyworthy webshop where I can find new or used parts for certain problems? Please share if u have some websites that you would recommend. Thanks!

Now is a common thing the cat to be stolen. They use it to produce drugs. Seriously.

Yep-the dangling lambda sensor is the clue.

All right guys. Thanks for help. I'm certain that catalizator was stolen. Now I have to find used or new one which costs like a fortune. Cheers!
