Hi gang
I hope I’m posting in the right place! Hoping the punto hive mind can help me.
I’ve got a 2006 punto dynamic
I had it MOTd 2 weeks ago and it passed with no issues on the emissions
Since it passed, it’s suddenly been losing power and struggling up hills, and drinking fuel. Yesterday I was on the motorway and it couldn’t get over 60mph and then I could feel banging from the engine
Roadside technician diagnosed a blocked catalytic converter and said it’s a goner. It still drives but was told of it gets too hot it will catch fire.
Is there anything I can do? There’s no engine light on, neither the MOT garage or the fixing mechanic noticed anything when it was in.
I’m wondering if a bottle of cataclean will help? Or a service!
if you have any ideas let me know!
Thanks
