My Kia got a brand new cat and some other parts before they found that a noise was actually what it sounded like (a loose bolt, with a washer rattling). I told them it was a loose bolt somewhere (from a timing belt change), but they threw parts at it for a while before they finally checked the lower timing belt cover.

.....I didn't sit with 10 mins with the light on. It was after the car cooled down.
