Broken catalyst published by Manual-Mecanica
Hello good I have the catalyst broken the ceramicami car is a Renault Laguna of 1994 2000 I.8v of gasoline The Lambda probe is before the catalyst, I would like to know if the catalyst empties the car the car would win some power, consume more gasoline, or that can happen. It can happen that new is worth it. Thank you very much.

Hello Jesus, the catalyst can throw it in the garbage quietly, I am a mechanic and next to my workshop there is a house of escape pipes and they always take it out, you will have more power and the long time the catalysts are covered and the problems of lack of power and start in the morning begin. Because it's like coversing the escape ..... that they get it and welcomed you a piece of pipe and the problem ended.

Greetings Jesus, that is the normal to apply, remove the "hive" that carries inside the catalyst and voila, but it usually happens in certain models of vehicles that begins to consume fuel, the reason is that the catalyst acts as a kind of "resistance" to the passage of the exhaust gases and this effect takes advantage of the oxygen sensor to determine the quality of combustion, when the flow is very fast Which is poor mixture, which makes the ECU, release a little more fuel. Take it into account if fuel performance falls, greetings!

It can be deleted clearly that yes, but forget to pass the annual technical revision without it, the gases shoot more than 600 HC, you can take it out now and put it when you go, it does not cause damage to the engine of that do not worry.
