If its local car, it should be cheap. Just need to take out 2 bolts and clean with pressure air or water. Take to local shop and do it. People are charging 2k for cleaning service which should be really 200-300 rps.
Did it with local city 2014. Took 10 mins.

Servicing with only water and air is no so effective.you need to pour acid in catylic converter and keep this acid in it for about 10min then wash it with high preasure water and check with help of light that inner filters are not clogged.then dry it and fit it. @pwuser152257362750

O2 sensor is non repairable and cleanable part you can change it on old cars in 60000 miles and in new cars changing interval is about 100000 miles.its total life span of o2 sensor. @pwuser152257362750

how many km catalytic converter

Usually 40-60,000 Kms, and if driven on sub-standard fuel, then quite early.

Symptoms of Cat Conv choking: Loss in pick, performance and fuel efficiency of car, and how ever hard you push the pedal, car does not pick race.

oxygen sensor needs cleaning?

It does not need cleaning. It requires replacement only, when past its life.

appox labor charges

Its usually 1000-4000 PKR, depending which method is used for cleaning.

Cleaning by acid severely damages the Cat. Conv. and must be avoided at all costs.

this method is used by all cleaning mechanics.
Catylic converter is non repairable and cleaning catylic converter is also a jugar to only finish error.

Agreed, but still, this method is not right.

Better options are; Liqui Moly, Proficar, etc. Cat Conv. Cleaners, and Motor Clean shop in twin cities, etc.

Brother main topic is that cat is not repairable when cat clogged up its not be able even after cleaning with cat cleaner or anything else etc. To purify your exuast gases.now why we need to clean it.because we need a space from where our exhaust gases go out.so i dont think using lots of money for cleaning cat is batter option so our mechanic do sasta jogar.and by the way clean cat with cat cleaner and other liqui moly products are expensive jogar.i hope you understand.so add some money in mehanga jogar and go for a kabli one.or go for acid cleaning because its already dead.RIP
