- I have an audi 5000 s and I have problem with the catalytic converter. I want t
- o know what exactly a catalytic converter do? I have some starting problem al
- so. If I leave the switch on and start after few minutes it would start. But if
- I turn on the switch and start the car immediately it wouldn't start. Could th
- is be because of catalytic converter. Also, I have to keep the fresh air on whi
- le driving . If I turn the air off the car gets so overheated that the coolant
- starts leaking from one of the hose. Can anybody tell me how much does catalyti
- c converter cost for audi 5000 s . Is it possible to repair it.
- Thanks
