Default Catalytic Converter on 2000 legacy outback wagon - 02-23-2007 , 11:45 AM






The catalytic converter on my 2000 legacy outback wagon has gone bad
after just 90000 miles. It will be expensive to replace. Is there a
low cost source for catalytic converters?

Regards

My mechanic just ballparked a cat. for my car at under $400. It was a
guess but that doesn't sound too awfully expensive?

Are you sure it isn't the front O2 sensor?

The front O2 sensor is fine. The O2 sensor reading in the catalytic
converter is erratic. That is why the computer error code shows cat
problem and the mechanic at the dealership also confirmed that it is
the cat. Is it relatively easy to replace CAT by yourself? I did some
work on exhause pipe 18 years go. The biggest problem was to loosen
the rusty nuts/bolts.

Regards
