Let’s get this out of the way: a leak in your exhaust system could be deadly. If Chetwynd drivers smell exhaust in the passenger cabin or hear an unusual exhaust sound, they should get their exhaust system checked and repaired. Talk to your GEAR-O-RAMA SUPPLY CHETWYND (2015) LTD. service advisor This is vital: Carbon monoxide in your exhaust is odorless, colorless and tasteless, and can be fatal to you and your passengers - so don’t delay if you suspect and exhaust leak.
There could be a number of reasons for a failed BC emissions test so some vital diagnostic work is in order. A common reason for Chetwynd drivers is that the catalytic converter has failed. The catalytic converter removes some of the harmful elements in exhaust.
