Thanked 316 Times in 248 PostsNo, it means it's working fine. All cats make this smell. You may want to check the boot seal though if the smell is coming in as you drive.

Thanked 291 Times in 213 Postsyes the sulphur smell is from the cat, you may find that changing the petrol supplier you use may help if the smell is very noticeable (i have heard this in the past, but cant say i've ever had to do this in the past)

Thanked 59 Times in 52 PostsInteresting comments - I had a fairly smelly exhaust when my Lambda sensor was on its way out and I was running rich. Maybe the excess fuel caused additional problems with the catalytic convertor and led to more smell? It doesn't smell bad after a run now.
