Yes, I was thinking that too, that's one of the reasons why I wanted to know the results of the latest smog test. I didn't want to say "Cats" until we had more info cause O.P. has
three of them to contend with.
And while I agree the cat(s) are the front runner on the suspects list, high oil consumption doesn't guarantee bad cats. The 89 in my sig really swigs the stuff but the cats haven't given up yet!
And no, I'm not gonna bother with the valve seals on a car that has over 232,000 miles on it and isn't worth more than a 1,000 dollars! I love Benzer 1 dearly but that just ain't gonna happen! Too much else to do!
