Catalyst for spark ignition engines
Warning! Leaded gasoline harms the catalyst and electrical components, causing them to lose their efficiency.
By narrowing the fuel filler opening on vehicles with catalytic converters, leaded fuel dispenser nozzles are prevented from entering.
Warning! Failure to follow the instructions below may result in catalytic converter or vehicle damage:
- In the event of a misfire or engine running after a cold start, a noticeable reduction in engine power or other abnormalities indicating a fault in the ignition system, contact an authorized Opel workshop immediately. If necessary, briefly continue driving at low speed and at a low engine speed;
- If unburned fuel enters the catalyst, overheating and damage to the catalyst can occur.
So avoid:
- frequent consecutive starts of a cold engine;
- too long engagement of the starter during start-up (fuel is injected during start-up);
- consumption of fuel in the tank to the end (uneven fuel supply leads to overheating);
- starting the engine by pushing or towing (unburned fuel can get into the catalytic converter);
- A wire should be used to connect the starter motor to the auxiliary battery.
Catalyst for diesel engines
Warning! Failure to follow the instructions below may result in damage to the diesel catalyst or the vehicle itself:
- in the event of engine interruptions, a noticeable reduction in engine power or other malfunctions, contact an authorized Opel workshop immediately;
- if necessary, briefly continue driving at low speed and at a low engine speed.
Maintenance
All maintenance work must be carried out at an authorized Opel workshop in accordance with the frequency prescribed by Opel. Then you can be sure that all electrical components, injection and ignition systems work optimally, that low emissions are maintained and that the catalytic system is long-lasting.
