A clogged or damaged catalytic converter could adversely affect the performance of your Mini Cooper. Moreover, it could also kill the engine of your vehicle. You might also fail an emissions test due to a clogged or defective catalytic converter. So, early warning symptoms of catalytic converter failure in your Mini Cooper should not be overlooked. To know more about the causes of catalytic converter failure in your vehicle, have a look at the slide.

1. MOST COMMON
CAUSES OF
CATALYTIC
CONVERTER
FAILURE IN MINI
COOPER

2. The catalytic converter is a
vital emission control device.

3. It minimizes the emission of
toxic pollutants like carbon
monoxide, oxides of nitrogen
and sulfur, and unburnt
hydrocarbons.

4. Failure of the catalytic
converter in your Mini
Cooper might have
disastrous consequences.

5. You might also fail an
emissions test.

6. Moreover, a bad catalytic converter could also
adversely affect the performance of your Mini Cooper.

7. So, symptoms of a failing catalytic
converter in your Mini Cooper
should not be ignored.

8. Reasons behind the failure of
the catalytic converter should
be identified and efforts should
be made to fix those problems
immediately.

10. Seepage of motor oil or coolant
into the exhaust system could
block the air passages within
the catalytic converter.

11. A clogged catalytic converter
could not remove the harmful
pollutants.

12. So, signs of a contaminated
catalytic converter should not
be overlooked.

14. Errors in the data provided by a
faulty oxygen sensor to the ECM could
also damage the catalytic converter.

15. The ECM with wrong data fails to
regulate the air to fuel ratio within
the combustion chamber.

16. Too lean or too rich fuel mixture
within the combustion chamber could
emit a lot of unburned hydrocarbon
into the catalytic converter.

17. Combustion of unburnt hydrocarbon
within the catalytic converter could
damage the converter's ceramic
honeycomb.

18. So, symptoms of a faulty oxygen
sensor should not be overlooked.

19. BOTTOM LINE

20. The catalytic converter is a key
device of the vehicle’s emission
control system.

21. Failure of such an important
component might impair the
exhaust system of your Mini
Cooper.

22. Moreover, a clogged or
defective catalytic
converter could also damage
the engine of your vehicle.
