Same Day Catalytic Converter Replacement in Croydon

Signs Your Catalytic Converter Needs Attention

Spotting problems early prevents breakdowns and costly engine damage:

• Reduced power or sluggish acceleration
• “Check Engine” or “Emissions” warning light illuminated
• Rattling noises from underneath the car
• Sulphur or rotten egg smell from exhaust
• Failed MOT emissions test
• Excessive fuel consumption
• Dark smoke or unusual exhaust smell
• Overheating catalytic converter or glowing exhaust pipe

If you recognise any of these symptoms, book a catalytic converter inspection at MTS Croydon before performance and emissions worsen.

What We Check?

We don’t just replace parts, we diagnose the real cause of catalytic converter failure to avoid repeat issues:

• Visual Inspection: Cracks, leaks, and damage to the catalytic converter casing
• OBD-II Diagnostic Scan: Check for exhaust efficiency and related fault codes
• Exhaust Flow & Back Pressure: Ensure gases flow freely through the system
• Oxygen (O₂) Sensors: Test readings before and after the converter
• Temperature Readings: Compare inlet/outlet temperatures for proper operation
• Exhaust System Integrity: Check manifold, pipes, flex joints, and mounts
• Emissions Output Test: Verify CO, HC, and NOx levels meet legal standards

After diagnosis, you’ll receive a clear report and quotation, showing what’s faulty, what’s urgent, and what’s optional.
