Product Questions & Answers
Shopping for Buick Catalytic Converter
One of the devices used to control harmful emissions is the catalytic converter. This device looks like a muffler and is a part of the exhaust system of your Buick vehicle. The use of catalytic converters has been required in US since the 1980s; however only gasoline-powered autos have catalytic converters, so diesel-powered Buicks don't have cats. It is called a "catalytic converter" because it has pellets that serve as catalyst that speed up chemical process to convert the exhaust into carbon dioxide and water, which are environment friendly.
As the catalytic converter cleans the exhaust by converting it into carbon dioxide or water, it produces heat. Thus, the more harmful exhaust, the more heat it is able to produce. You probably have heard of or have seen a catalytic converter glowing, this is due to the excessive amount of heat it produces. If your Buick catalytic converter reaches this point, it is now more prone to damages. If you are using leaded fuel, your catalytic converter might fail to work because led produces coating on the platinum.
While your Buick is equipped with excellent stock catalytic converters, even the best parts can wear out prematurely. Misfires and other engine issues can cause the catcon to run too hot as it tries to compensate for the erratic performance. In most cases, your first (and usually only) warning of a bad catcon is the check engine light switching on. You may also notice that the engine produces insufficient power, stalls, or cannot start because of backpressure from a carbon-clogged catalytic converter. Always check for these symptoms of a bad Buick catalytic converter before taking your ride to its next emissions test.
Even OE catalytic converters manufactured for Buick by General Motors can reveal issues that require a service bulletin or recall to amend. In one instance, GM recalled a number of 2020 Buick Encore GX that received the wrong catcon. These vehicles released higher levels of emissions in violation of federal and state laws. GM contacted the owners of these affected Encore GX units and replaced the incorrect catalytic converter.
Because the exhaust system and the engine work together, a clogged or damaged catalytic converter can seriously hamper your vehicle’s performance.
