The Catalytic Converter has an average lifetime of 100,000 km (62,137 miles).Warranty will not cover a new Catalytic Converter if the following problems occur!   troubleshoot why your catalyst is failing before installing a new catalytic converter! If you don't fix the first cause, the catalytic converter you just bought could also fail.

1.External Damage

In the catalytic converter, the ceramic material is made of light, thin-walled and unbreakable material. It holds the material in place and is protected, to a certain degree, by an insulating layer that protects against external damage. However, if the Catalytic Converter speed bumps or hits large stones on the road, cracks can potentially occur in the ceramic material of the catalytic converter. A bad assembly or a broken exhaust system can also cause the ceramic material to break.

2. Fuel Pollution

Blocked or dirty catalytic converters cause incorrect fuel use in the car. The use of leaded fuel or lead replacement fuel will cause the ceramic material to block and this will no longer work. It applies when fuel additives are used that they are suitable for systems equipped with a catalytic converter. Oil / antifreeze contamination. When oil or anti-freeze finds its way into the exhaust system, they do not block this airflow because a heavy layer of soot is deposited in the catalytic converter against the ceramic plates. This institution causes deposit 2. problems. Firstly, it prevents the catalytic converter from filtering harmful soot particles from the exhaust gases, causing the airflow to be blocked, and secondly, heavy soot deposits cause the core to become blocked. This creates high back pressure and hot exhaust gases find their way into the engine; It impairs the engine combustion process, meaning that it no longer functions optimally, causing loss of output and engine overheating.
