So my car is labelled a 'gross polluter' right now. I can't drive it as they won't renew my registration until it passes smog. Can't sell it in California unless it passes smog.
Dealership says I need new catalytic converters. Parts around $2600, but labor is going to be 3-4k because they need to pull the engine to put them in.
Anyone have any other ideas? I have the eurocharged tune on it right now, stock other than that. I might pull the tune off and get a can of the stuff to help you pass smog, but I am not very optimistic about that.
Kind of a bummer as I have had the engine out 4 times already in the last 2 years. Mostly under warranty. New torque converter, new transmission, new alternator, new brakes, new belts, new DRC, new valve cover gaskets.....been an expensive couple years.
My other thought was to sell it to someone in a state that doesn't require smog checks.
