GAZZUZZ:/ Theft of catalytic converters is very rampant in US. Usually the thieves target vehicles with good clearance from the ground like trucks and SUVs. They slip under such vehicles, saw it off and disappear. How they do it without being caught remains a mystery. To replace it (them, some vehicles have up to 4) on some European vehicles (Mercedes, BMW, Jaguar, etc) are very expensive. / 1 Like |

, No time for rubbish here, if my car develop any of the listed sign(s), I just take it to the dealer and swap for latest brand new car. Naija needs to step up their game, allow car manufacturers have enough plants/ dealers to sell on credit and compete in your economy. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Adexsammie:How to know if your catalytic converter is bad Sudden drop in fuel efficiency (only if it's blocked) Failure to accelerate when you press on the gas. Vehicle won't start (if its blocked). Failed emissions test (O2 sensor). Check Engine light is on. Rotten egg smell. How to your catalytic converter is stolen You may not be able to tell your catalytic converter was stolen by looking at your car, but you will know as soon as you start the engine. When the catalytic converter has been removed, your vehicle will make a loud roaring sound that will get louder as you push the gas pedal 1 Like 1 Share |

Catalytic converter. One of the very first parts stolen from your car, when you leave the vehicle beyond a day at the mechanic's workshop. |

Kelvin30286063: Almost all your points are debatable, don't want to just say "false" or "not exactly correct", so we keep it civilized - "debatable" |

gonkin:cat delete makes a car faster tho. Did it to my Camry V6 after it got clogged up and killed my first engine to the extent it lost compression after the Cat was removed. Instead of ringing the engine I bought half engine. Please what’s egr valve for clutch fan I guess it has to do with Manual cars? I love how the car performance is higher without cat, but I’m looking for how to reduce the fuel consumption. |

Timblogga: Too bad cars are more modern. My vehicle is 1992 and uses an AFM not MAF. So i can actually adjust the feedback resistance sent to the ecu. |
