There are a few common signs that indicate your Suzuki Bolans catalytic converter may be clogged and needs to be replaced o r cleaned:

Loss of Power: A noticeable in engine performance, especially when accelerating o r climbing hills.

Overheating: The engine runs hotter than usual, often indicated by the temperature gauge rising above normal levels.

Stalling o r Hesitation: The engine hesitates, stalls, o r has trouble maintaining speed, particularly when idling o r accelerating.

Increased Fuel Consumption: Your vehicle uses more fuel than usual due to inefficient engine performance.

Strange Exhaust Smell: A rotten egg o r sulfur smell may indicate a problem with the catalytic converter.

If you notice one o r more of these symptoms, it’s recommended to take your Bolan to a trusted mechanic for an exhaust system check. The mechanic can measure the backpressure in the exhaust o r check the converters efficiency to determine if it’s clogged. Replacement is typically required if cleaning the converter does not solve the issue.
