Catalytic Converter Failure
The catalytic converter is a crucial component of your vehicle's exhaust system, responsible for reducing harmful emissions. It converts toxic pollutants, such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides, into less harmful substances before they exit the tailpipe. However, catalytic converters can fail due to various factors, including age, wear and tear, overheating, and contamination from engine oil or coolant leaks.
One of the most common signs of catalytic converter failure is a decrease in engine performance. You might notice a lack of power, especially during acceleration, or a decrease in fuel efficiency. You might also hear a rattling or clanging sound coming from the exhaust system, especially when the engine is cold. In some cases, the check engine light might illuminate, indicating a problem with the emissions system.
Replacing a catalytic converter can be an expensive repair, as they are often made with precious metals like platinum, palladium, and rhodium. The cost can vary depending on the make and model of your vehicle and the type of catalytic converter required. For older or high-mileage vehicles, the cost of catalytic converter replacement might not be justified, making scrapping a more economical choice.
