Catalysts are currently found on many car models. Their main purpose is to combine heavy parts and increase the level of environmental friendliness of the vehicle.
This filter has a specific honeycomb structure and rare earth dusting. That is why such parts are very expensive, and the price for the repair work carried out to replace the catalyst may surprise even very wealthy car owners.
Catalyst strength
The service life of the exhaust gas catalyst is approximately 100 thousand kilometers. Most often, by this figure, the honeycomb of the filter burns out and breaks down, which leads to the fact that the exhaust gases are not purified, and it is necessary to urgently carry out repair manipulations. There have been cases when, when using low-quality domestic gasoline, which contains various impurities, the catalyst broke down and needed to be replaced after 30 thousand kilometers.
Cheap models of cars lack a high level of reliability of converters. For example, on budget cars Kia and Hyundai, such filters broke after 50 thousand kilometers. In this case, it is urgent to make a replacement, otherwise the ceramic dust can get into the motor itself, which will lead to breakdown of the entire engine of the vehicle, and its repair will already require large cash costs.
Modern car models have special sensors that indicate the breakdown and depreciation of the exhaust gas catalyst as a malfunction of the entire engine, so the check engine screen is displayed. [desc] In this situation, the car owner urgently needs to contact the service center for diagnostics, and then replace [/desc] or completely cut out the exhaust gas neutralizer with the installation of special deception sensors. You cannot ignore the messages on the service screen, this can lead to serious problems with the engine, and already for its repair you will need to have a large amount of money.
Do I need to change the neutralizer
The owner of a vehicle whose exhaust catalyst is broken or completely worn out on the car needs to think about whether this filter will be replaced or it will be completely cut out with the installation of trompe l'oeil. Most often, drivers stop at the second scenario. This is due to the fact that the price of catalysts is quite high - 20-30 thousand and more.
You need to know that it is very difficult to remove the exhaust gas neutralizer, therefore it is not recommended to do this on your own, it is worth contacting trusted specialists. After all, it is necessary not only to cut out this filter, but also to install special tricks that will ensure the correct functioning of the engine control unit and air flow meter without a catalyst
