Howdy all,
My 01 Outback wagon's catalytic converter evidently threw a check engine light at me that stayed on for most of the week, but then cleared itself after a long trip yesterday. I had the code read today and it indicated "catalytic converter bank 1" iirc. My car has 105k on it, and is 6 years old now, and I live firmly in the rust belt.
I'm curious about the mileage/age others have had their cat. gave up the ghost, and what it cost to replace so I can start budgeting. :-)
My non-subie-specific mechanic who read the code guessed in the $380 range, but said he probably wouldn't do anything with it until the code was consistent and remained.
Also, are there 2 cats on this car?
TIA for any shared experience.
Best Regards,
