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.

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!
