What, exactly is a catalytic converter? Well, it is a car component that works to
reduce vehicle emissions and pollution.
It has a metal canister installed in the exhaust system and is filled
with a chemical catalyst, usually a platinum and palladium mixture, that helps
to convert the vehicle’s emissions into non-harmful gasses.
So, when do you know it needs to be repaired?
1. A reduction in
engine performance
2. You hear rattling
beneath your vehicle
3. There is a
noticeable sulfur smell
4. The check engine
light comes on
Most of us know what that last point means…you WILL fail the
emissions test. That, of course, is
unacceptable! If you have an inkling
that your car’s catalytic converter is giving out, please call The German Car
Shoppe in Littleton at (303) 798-2287.
For years they have been the right place to bring your German car in the
Denver area at 5115 S. Santa Fe Drive in Littleton.
