catalytic converters

A catalytic converter can be used for a long time when the entire combustion chain works to automaker specifications. Even the smallest failure in the entire combustion chain will significantly shorten the converter life.

Minimum checklist:

• Check and/or renew the oil filter
• Check and/or renew the air filter
• Check and/or renew receipts
• Check engine management
• Check Turbo
• Check LPG installation (if applicable)
• Check oil consumption
• Check coolant consumption
• Check for cylinder head gasket leak
• Check the exhaust gas mixture
• Check the quality and capacity of the (pre) catalytic converter
• Check all sensors (lambda sensors)
• Check EGR valves and system

In addition, test the following:

• injectors
• Compression
• starter and battery
• Emission control

Do not use gaskets in front of the transducer and always make sure that the recommended oil is used. It is recommended to change the oil when replacing the catalytic converter.

Only when the chain is running to factory specification, the catalytic converter works as it should.
