Exhaust system life
The combustion of gasoline produces, among other things, water, which contributes to the development of corrosion from the inside to the outside. Exhaust...

Exhaust system components
In the Vectra model, the exhaust system consists of the following components: A cast iron exhaust manifold is attached to the cylinder head. This is followed...

Checking the suspension and condition of the exhaust system
Maintenance work The exhaust system is rigidly connected to the exhaust manifold and - in models with 16V engines - additionally by a bracket with the engine....

Exhaust system replacement
Repairing a rusted exhaust system has become a rarity today. This is made possible by the use of high quality steel and galvanized sheet metal. But if, despite...

Exhaust cleanliness
The essential elements of gasoline are carbon and hydrogen. When gasoline is burned in an engine, carbon combines with atmospheric oxygen to form carbon...

What is the engine throwing out?
Carbon monoxide (SO), perhaps the most famous compound, because. in the engine idling, the CO content in the exhaust gases is measured. The richer the fuel-air...

Reducing the toxicity of exhaust gases
Function of the catalytic converter A catalyst as a concept from the field of chemistry is a substance that controls a chemical reaction or speeds it up. At...

Lambda probe function
Lambda probe (also called oxygen probe or O probe 2 ) screwed into the exhaust manifold in front of the catalytic converter (in engines with a displacement of...

Operating a vehicle with a catalytic converter
The operating instructions contain numerous instructions for vehicles with catalytic converters. Particularly dangerous to them is the unburned fuel mixture,...

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (AGR)
At high combustion temperatures in the engine, the proportion of nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gases inevitably increases. The possibility of reducing the...

Secondary air boost
Only in 16V engines The task of secondary air charging is to cause additional oxidation of the exhaust gases during the warm-up phase of the engine and to...
