Durability, individual components, assessment of the state of the exhaust system, dismantling and installation. Harmful substances, exhaust gas toxicity reduction, catalytic converter, lambda probe, operation of vehicles with a catalytic converter, exhaust gas recirculation, secondary air pressurization.

Service life of the exhaust system
When gasoline burns, water is also formed, which promotes corrosion from the inside out. Exhaust system corrosion increases with decreasing exhaust gas...

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

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 to the engine bracket. It is...

Replacing the exhaust system
Repairing a rusty exhaust system has become a rarity today. This has become possible thanks to the use of high-quality steel and galvanized sheet metal. But...

Ensuring clean exhaust
The essential elements of gasoline are carbon and hydrogen. When gasoline burns in an engine, the carbon combines with atmospheric oxygen to form carbon...

What does the engine emit?
Carbon monoxide (CO) is perhaps the best known compound, as the CO content in the exhaust gases is measured in an idling engine. The richer the fuel-air...

Reducing 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 accelerates it. The...

Lambda probe function
Lambda probe (also called an oxygen probe or O ₂ probe) bolted to the exhaust manifold before the catalytic converter (in engines with a working volume of 1.6...

Operating a vehicle with a catalytic converter
The operating instructions contain numerous instructions for vehicles with catalytic converters. They are particularly at risk from unburned working 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 purpose of secondary air injection is to cause additional oxidation of exhaust gases during the engine warm-up phase and reduce the...
