Repair or Buy a New Catalytic Converter: What to Do?

Catalytic Converter Cleaning

There are additives that promise to clean the catalytic converter. Most oxygen-enriched oils are not harmful to the environment; however, their use is, at the very least, controversial or even questionable. For vehicles, there are also special cleaners for the particulate filter, which is also found in the exhaust system along with the catalytic converter.

Catalytic Converter Repair

In recent years, failures due to particulate filters and/or saturated catalytic converters have become popular in workshops. Therefore, at Market-Auto, we have decided to provide an alternative in the market and specialize in the repair of these parts.

MARKET-AUTO PRODUCES SPECIFIC REPLACEMENT CATALYTIC CONVERTERS FOR ALMOST ALL CAR MODELS.

It proposes the regeneration of the catalytic converter by replacing the monolith with a new product of equal quality. Market-Auto, on the other hand, discourages any washing technique as many studies supporting various catalytic converters have evidenced the subsequent emergence of collateral problems and harmful consequences for proper functioning.

New Catalytic Converters

The first thing that scares us when we need a new original catalytic converter, which can only be obtained from the official distributor, is the price. Undoubtedly, the cost of an original catalytic converter is significantly higher than that of a universal one. It is clear that original spare parts, replacements, or OEM parts in any country within the dealer's store will always be very expensive compared to the same replacement bought outside the dealer's store.

Among the many original spare parts that provide greater quality, durability, and performance compared to universal ones, we find the catalytic converter. The approximate lifespan of an original catalytic converter can easily reach 100,000 kilometers, in addition to having a much faster temperature activation than a universal one.

Catalytic converters cannot be repaired, and there are no cleaning procedures to recover them, so when they are damaged, the only option is to replace them with a new one.
