Catalytic converter burning off build-up
Mine never did that, and no one else had ever said anything about that. My guess would be bad cat. Keep an eye on it - or a nose !btoak said:Had it checked at the dealer. No computer evidence of a cat problem. The mechanic thinks that there is a "preservative" used in catalytic converters during manufacture that takes time to burn off. Because I make short trips and don't put a lot of miles on it's taling it longer. Hope this is accurate. I've bought 6 new cars over the past 30 years and have never had this problem. Never had a problem before now with gas smell in the car that wasn't caused by me ;D
Yes and no...RIT333 said:Anyone else witness this ?
or there is indeed a potential issue...btoak said:I get a rotten egg odor. .
I would have to agree with the previous posts to keep an eye on the concern. It is possible that this is the result of needing to break in the vehicle further. If you feel that this is getting worse or that it is the result of some kind of problem, I would recommend contacting the dealership right away. Please feel free to keep me informed with any further information either on the thread of via private message. Thank you.btoak said:Had it checked at the dealer.
