the shop I go to said that my 2000 Jetta would not pass the smog check when the catalytic converter went bad.
The trans is controled by a module that is located under the rear seat.
You do not fix a defective Catalytic Converter, you replace it. A replacement converter will cost from $250 to $400 depending on brand and quality. OEM will be around $300. Labor costs are not included.
There are 2 Oxygen sensors on a 97 Jetta. The up stream on is in the pipe just before the Catalytic Converter and the down stream one is just after the Catalytic converter. You can miss them. They both plug in along the fire wall just below the air intake
