Why Does My Car Smell Like Rotten Eggs?
Jan 10, 2023
What Can Cause Your Car to Smell Like Rotten Eggs?
A lingering foul odor in a vehicle is a nuisance hence air fresheners. You may notice a rotten egg smell in your car when driving. If you do, you should get it checked as soon as possible because it could signify a deeper underlying issue. The following are reasons why your car smells like rotten eggs:
A broken or damaged catalytic converter cannot successfully perform the conversion process hence the smell of sulfur gasses in the car. A new catalytic converter is a solution if it is the problem.
The oil could also cause a build-up of exhaust byproducts in the catalytic converter. It will overheat and release sulfur gasses into the vehicle. A worn-out fuel filter has the same effects as a damaged fuel sensor.
The solution is to replace the regulator or fuel filter.
Consider the three causes above of a rotten egg smell. If you need catalytic converter repair, give Taylor Co Automotive a call today! Feel free to give us a call or schedule an appointment online at your convenience.
