Cost for monroe muffler to clean my catalytic converter cleaned!?
i got the codes fro a mechanic and i need the catalytic converter cleaned. What is the price i can expect them to charge, including labor. it a 2002 saturn sl1|||Yes, I have heard of catalytic converter cleaning methods for $50-$100. One is take it off and run cleaner through it and re-install it and the other method is pour cleaner in the gas tank and drive an hour. Those sometimes work or are just temporary fixes, not permanent fixes! You can buy a Saturn catalytic converter online for under $100, so why pay someone $50- $100 to clean it?|||I don't know about the mechanic you took it to but I have been doing this a long time and i have never seen a code that says the catalytic converter needs to be cleaned. As far as I know there is no way to clean one just replace it if it goes bad. If I were you I would find another mechanic and get a second,third and maybe a fourth opinion if they told you your catalytic converter needs to be cleaned your about to get screwed find yourself a new mechanic|||converter cleaning? You kidding? What a scam. Tell us what the code was and we'll tell you what's really wrong. There is NO code for cleaning. There's a code for converter efficiency below threshold, but that code is almost always caused by a dead converter AND a dead converter is always caused by engine misfire, worn engine, or internals leaks.
