The guy said I have a clogged cat converter (code P0420). Just wondering what some of my options are. My car's a '98 and only has 55k miles.

The cat is covered under warranty due to EPA issues. | | | 05-23-2007, 01:14 AM | #4 | Junior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: Omaha, NE Posts: 10 | Thanks for the info about the warranty. Do I need to bring any documentation to the dealer? | | | 05-23-2007, 01:42 AM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Stamford, CT <-> Boston, MA Posts: 1,393 | My Service and Warranty Information Booklet (1998) Shows All Emission Related Parts of a warranty of 2 years and Specific control devices 8 Years. Edit: The fine print says (on my booklet) "The following components and/or system are/is covered under the Federal Emission Warranty for a period of 8 years or 80,000 miles, whichever occurs first. CATALYTIC CONVERTER ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (INCLUDING ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM)" | | | 05-23-2007, 01:57 AM | #6 | Junior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: Omaha, NE Posts: 10 | Didn't they extend the warranty from 8 yrs to 10yrs? | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
