Getz NOx Catalyst Aging

My 2003 Hyundai Getz (gasoline engine) has a check engine light. Diagnostics say it's NOx storage catalyst aging. I also hear an exhaust leak. The car has 137514 km on it. I think the leak might be the cause. Anyone seen this?

Oh, that sounds frustrating! I have a Getz as well, though I'm not sure what year. I had a similar check engine light issue and weird exhaust smell a while back. I was so stressed out by the light. It turned out to be a problem with my emissions system too!

That's interesting. Do you recall any specifics regarding the error codes or symptoms you experienced? I'm trying to narrow down the potential causes and would appreciate any insights you might have.

Honestly, I don't remember the exact error codes. It was a while ago. But the mechanic said something about the exhaust system needing attention, and that it was affecting the emissions. I'd say take it to a workshop; they can run a proper diagnostic and tell you exactly what's going on. It's worth the peace of mind!

Thanks for sharing. Your input was helpful, and it seems prudent to consult a professional. I've booked an appointment at a local workshop. They confirmed that the NOx catalyst was aging due to a leak in the exhaust system. The estimated repair cost is around 265€. Hopefully, this resolves the issue permanently.
