    Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Advice Mitsubishi Verada Mitsubishi Verada Advice Mitsubishi Verada 2003
    I HOPE you can help me. I bought a Mitsubishi Verada 2003 model a couple of months ago, then noticed it emitted a smell of rotten eggs. This is very noticeable when you open the doors. I was told it was normal but could be exacerbated by the petrol mix. I was told to shop around for petrol to see if this would have any effect on emissions and that basically there was nothing else the carmaker was prepared to do. I was also told that because the car has low kilometres (under 25,000km), the smell may become less noticeable over time. Have you heard of this problem before?

    A ROTTEN-EGG smell is usually caused by a malfunctioning catalytic converter. Your dealer should be able to detect this when he checks the emission system. I don't believe shopping around for petrol will overcome the problem. I would take the car back to your dealer and have the engine and emission systems checked for faults.
