RE: Foul Odor from Exhaust

Doesn't that mean the cat is going out? When mine smelled like that for a
little while on my old '87 GTI, the cat went out on it, and it didn't smell
anymore after that.

Subject: Foul Odor from Exhaust


For a while now, I have noticed a foul odor coming from my exhaust that
smells almost like rotten eggs. Has anyone ever had this problem? I was told
that maybe it was mt catalytic converter gone bad. But I recently passed
emissions inspection with no problem (which is weird considereing how tough
NJ DMV inspection is. Most of the tim eI notice it in the morning, but it
doesn't happen all the time, only most of the time. Again, if anyone has had
this problem, or even heard of anything like this, please let me know what I
need to do. I figured that if I can pin point it I can take it to the dealer
and have them fix it since I have the extended warranty. Thanks in advance.

P.S.- I had a TT Stainless Steel Cat-back exhaust installed about 3 years
ago, if that matters.
