Hi,

My car's just 3 years old which i bought brand new and i'm having problem with acceleration and according to a mechanic its the catalyctic converter that must be change.
I'm just wondering how can a 3 yrs old car's catalytic converter be broken so easily, i had previous second hand cars which where definitely older and i had them for at least 5 years each and never have I had any problem with the catalytic converter.

Can anyone advise!

Many thanks in advance!

 

I would highly doubt that it is the converter. Explain more about your problem.

 

Thank you racerx002 for replying!

For a couple of weeks now, my car started not being able to accelerate more than 110km/hour then, the acceleration wouldnt go more than 3,500 revolutions then it is making weird noises, as if a fan was switch on

but now if I'm on 4th or 5th gear, the car just wouldnt go more than 100kms/hour, it would only go around 90 or 95 but not more unless i'm going down hill.

Do you think you can recognize problem?

Once again, thank you!

 

Is your car an auto or manual trans?

 

manual

 

I honestly can't diagnose that over the computer. There are lots of things it could be.
