- This job can easily cost thousands at a dealer or mechanics shop. But, you can do it for the cost of a third party converter or two (I found the one in the video on eBay for less than $600/a pair). If you hear a rattling sound in your exhaust system as if a rock or loose metal is hitting the insides of the exhaust pipes as you drive AND event at idle, then most likely one or both of your catalytic converters are damaged. There are many other causes which I discuss in the video that can also damage a converter - with age being the number one culprit.
Smooth camera work! Excellent Instruction!
@timfoley4336 Thanks very much!
In all Mercedes-Benz bank 2 is actually the left side, not the right as stated.
Thank you, Maxwell. I misspoke. Bank 2 on V6 and 8 Benzes is on driver side on left hand steering cars.
Wd20... Love the video but we know it as wd-40.
Thx, Josh. I know it as that too but wonder how my mind wandered off by that much.
@@masood-tv I'm just making a laugh with ya. Did a great video
@@joshgray2024 - I understand. Thanks.
I also said that wd40 not 20
Hi there,
is your engine M112?
Hi @alikarimloo7344 , yes.
Can't we just delete the catalytic converter?
Of course you can. However, it may be illegal depending on where you live.
@@masood-tv Actually it’s illegal in all 50 states. Federal law prohibits catalytic converter deletes. If you don’t have inspections where you live, you may be able to get away with it.
@@atx-cvpi_99 - thanks for the info. I don't know where O.B.A is from, hence my answer above.
@@atx-cvpi_99 I don't.
Thanks for this video, it is very helpful. Do you recall if you use either of donut gaskets (One is solid, one is a dense wire mesh) that came with the new cat when you did the installation?
Hi Glenn C, thank you. I think I used one of the two but don't recall which...sorry.
My e320 that I just bought won't pass smog 😫 it's a 2000 and I can't transfer title to myself at dmv
Hi Christina - sorry to hear that. You'd wish you took a good scanner with or had the car inspected prior to purchase...
Is the rear a resonator or converter?
Hi Ace Tech, the front is the converter, the rear is the muffler.
@@masood-tv No it's not. There are 2 catalytic converters. 4 in total. Behind the catalytic converter where you installed the 02 sensors there is a secondary catalytic converter. I took mine off thinking it was a resonator which is pretty much a muffler but I think I am at fault for the confusion. What I meant when I said the rear I was referring to the secondary converter. I'm a professional tech I just wasn't accustom to seeing another converter after the downstream o2 sensor. I was really surprised on a Mercedes Benz there would be a converter not monitored by the ECM for emissions. Anyway thanks for getting back. I apologize for the poor description on my behalf. God bless!
@@acetech9237 you are right. I did take your front reference as front from the junction point. Thanks for the clarification.
are there nuts on the top of the exhaust manifold where the pipe first meets or are they threaded?
Yes، Chris. The nuts are affixed there...and if rusted could be reached, removed and replaced from the engine bay.
Waiting for your response!
I have a 2001 s430 and my catalytic converter was stolen.my car went into limp mode after that.if I replace it will it put the car back to normal?
Sorry to hear that Michael. Did they steal your O2 sensors along with the converter. That could be the reason for the limp mode.
@@masood-tv yea
Great video! Will unhooking and hooking the upper and lower O2 sensors back on cause the engine light to come on? TY!
No, it won't. Thx.
@@masood-tv Awesome, ty very much!
@@Astronautcary21 you are very welcome.
Very informative, almost fell asleep lol
Hi David - thanks. I know, it is quite a bit of info packed into one video...definitely may put you to sleep :)
Thank you and SALAM brother for a very informative and valuable video.
I have the same vibration problem in my 2006 MB sedan E350, W211 base model. USA.
My driver side seat right side shakes when car is idling or running at 2200 rpm and higher. I replaced all spark plugs, air filters, engine oil and filter thinking it may be a misfire or two (no misfire codes tho)
Using an OBD tool and TORQUE pro app, I noticed that my bank 1 S1 and bank 2 S1 is not working.
And Catalyst and O2 sensor is not available means Cat. Bank1 S2 and Bank 2 S2 is not responding.
Please advise or your thoughts where this vibration is coming from from? And what to fix.
To me it may O2 Sensors, but I am not an auto mechanic.
Waiting for your response.
Best Regards
AAwRwB Syed. Vibration is different from the clunking sound I describe in the video. I cannot tell based on your OBD reading whether you have a bad cat or sensor. That is what you should focus first. Take the car to a muffler shop who may do the inspection free of charge for you. Once you ascertain you have a bad cat or sensor, you replace them per the video. Vibration causes are many including bad engine and transmission mounts as well as other suspension components. But, first fix your exhaust issue and see if the vibration goes away. A clogged exhaust system very well may cause vibrations...
@@masood-tv, thank you Masood for the reply. I will take it to a muffler shop for cat and O2 sensor check and go from there. Good idea. What state you are in?
@@badremunir - I am in GA.
thank you my friend
Thanks, Hayk.
thanks for information
Any time
