CAT died...
Well started about 2 weeks ago, i hear a grinding metal noise/loose metal when i get up to about 6800 RPM's which continued till redline. At first i just thought it was the ports opening up but did some reading and a lot of driving and decided to take it in when i noticed i needed the new oil pan. Strange thing is it would only make the noise underload so i couldn't sit in the driveway and do it. Showed the tech he noted it and took my car to fix oil pan. I came back later to pick up my car and asked what the noise was, they said the cat was dead (all i got out of them, don't think they even know what was wrong with it) and needed to get a new one. Hopefully its just a defective cat and not a redudent issue with anyone elses cats.
I usually drive between 5k-7k RPM's (depending on my mood and traffic i'll shift between 7k-9k), a lot of WOT not sure if my driving style effected it at all. /shrug Anyone else have this happen to them? |
Sounds like the catalyst started vibrating around inside the shell of the converter, or maybe a heat shield loosened up and they just replaced the whole thing anyway...

thanks for the info avital!
I get a bit of a shrilling noise up in the high rpms.... I just assumed it was the 3rd ports opening, too. Could very well be, but something to point out to my dealer service! |
easy dealer cash
Do you think the dealer just wanted to take advantage of the free maintenence and warranty of the new 8's??
