Always inform your mechanic, panel beater or whoever is working on your vehicle that it has catalytic converter. In so doing, they go fear to touch am. 10 Likes 1 Share |

The most funny thing is that You won't even remember to always check under your car each time you visit mechanics to be sure either its been removed or not. |

Mrkindness: A catalytic converter is a part of your car's exhaust system that helps reduce harmful emissions. Unfortunately, they are often targeted by thieves because they contain valuable metals like platinum, palladium, and rhodium. Here are some top signs that your catalytic converter may have been stolen: 1. Loud Rumbling or Roaring Sound: Your car may make a significantly louder sound than usual, especially when you start or accelerate. This sound is often described as a deep roar or rumble, much louder than the normal engine noise. 2. Poor Performance and Reduced Fuel Efficiency: If your catalytic converter is missing, the engine may not run as smoothly as before, and you may notice a decrease in fuel efficiency. 3. Check Engine Light is On Many modern cars have oxygen sensors before and after the catalytic converter. If the converter is removed, it can trigger the check engine light. 4. Vehicle Doesn't Start: In some severe cases, the vehicle might not even start after the catalytic converter has been stolen. This happens when the thieves cause additional damage while removing the converter. 5. Visible Signs of Tampering: Upon visual inspection, you might notice that the exhaust system has been cut or appears tampered with. In many cases, the catalytic converter is simply cut from the rest of the exhaust system, leaving a noticeable gap. 6. Failed Emissions Test: Since the catalytic converter plays a crucial role in reducing the harmful emissions from your vehicle, its absence will cause your vehicle to fail an emissions test. 7. Sulphur or Exhaust Smell: The catalytic converter helps remove the smell from the car's exhaust. If it's missing, you might smell a strong exhaust or a sulphur-like odour. 1 Like |
