Question:
My car failed its emissions test, what do I need to do?
ADVANCE AUTOMOTIVE Answer:
Let’s get this out of the way: a leak in your exhaust system could be deadly. If Perth drivers smell exhaust in the passenger cabin or hear an unusual exhaust sound, they should get their exhaust system checked and repaired. Talk to your ADVANCE AUTOMOTIVE service advisor This is vital: Carbon monoxide in your exhaust is odorless, colorless and tasteless, and can be fatal to you and your passengers - so don’t delay if you suspect and exhaust leak.
There could be a number of reasons for a failed ON emissions test so some vital diagnostic work is in order. A common reason for Perth drivers is that the catalytic converter has failed. The catalytic converter removes some of the harmful elements in exhaust.
When a catalytic converter fails it must be replaced, which isn’t cheap for Perth drivers. Many Perth folks stop there, but the converter failed for a reason. There may be any number of engine run conditions that led to the failure. It would certainly be smart to have your ADVANCE AUTOMOTIVE service advisor diagnose the cause so that you don’t end up with another pricey catalytic converter replacement down the road.
Oh, and that Check Engine Light that so many Perth drivers ignore: It might just be illuminated for a an essential condition that could lead to catalytic converter damage. Have your ADVANCE AUTOMOTIVE service advisor get to the bottom of any check engine light situation.
