Furthermore, knocking the tailpipe with the heel of my hand can change the sound, or stop it for a sec - identical circumstances to the first cat that went.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Question: Can driving with a "bad cat" cause harm the engine? Or is it just an emissions issue? About 3 months ago, after a DE at VIR, one of my catalytic converters started rattling. On the drive home from the DE, the Check Engine light went on. Fortunately, still under CPO warranty - but they would only replace the rattling one - left the other cat to fail... which it sounds like it's doing now. When the engine's nice and hot, you can hear a rattle - opening the engine lid, you can't really hear it, it's obviously coming fom underneath. Furthermore, knocking the tailpipe with the heel of my hand can change the sound, or stop it for a sec - identical circumstances to the first cat that went. Anyhow, I'm heading to another DE next weekend - and I'd guess the other cat will go out on me, light up the check engine light, and I'll need to drive home 200 miles with it. However, since the CE light isn't on, I doubt the dealer's going to do a warranty replacement for a simple rattle. Any thoughts, suggestions, and assessment of potential harm from driving hard with a bad cat?

If its a solid light (cel), you will be fine.... its the blinky ones that requires an immediate pull over.
