- E320 estate 2001
My 2001 Mercedes E320 Elegance Estate (WDB210) has developed a rattle from the exhaust.
My local Mercedes service agent (not a main dealer) tells me a baffle is loose in a catalytic converter.
He says this model has two catalytic converters and the most economical solution for a vehicle of this age is just to remove the one that has the rattle.
He says that this will not affect the emissions readings and it would still pass the MOT.
I find this a bit hard to believe.
Can anyone advise if this information is correct?
Thanks
Chris
