    What IS Catalytic Converter In Cars & How Does It Work? - CarBikeTech

    A catalyst (or catalytic converter) is a component of an exhaust system that reduces the amount of harmful substances in exhaust gases, such as CO, CH, NO and NO2. All of these are poisonous and components of smog. So the catalyst is an element, containing noble metals that in reaction with harmful substances “burn” them to environmentally friendly standards.

    Inside the catalyst body there is either a ceramic or metal honeycomb structure on which is applied a thin layer of platinum-iridium alloy.

    With the introduction of environmental standards, all cars began to be equipped with one or more catalysts.

    What to do if there are problems in work of catalyst

    In most cases, the dealers refuse to change catalytic converter under warranty and assure that this is due to the poor quality of gasoline that was used. As a result they offer to change this detail.

    The price of the original catalyst ranges from 500 up to 2000 usd. The price of the catalyst is so high because it is basically the entire exhaust pipe, that is rather complex part, including the complex flange connections, exhaust manifold, most often corrugation and the catalyst barrel itself. It is clear that such a part is very complex and expensive to manufacture. In addition, the catalysts contain precious metals, that are themselves expensive. 

    Most often in specialized services specialists offer their clients alternative catalyst replacement solutions, such as:

    1. Installation of a universal catalyst. It is directly the catalyst barrel itself. It is welded into a standard part, instead of a failed catalyst. Basically, here is replaced the part of the exhaust system that is out of order, and not the entire exhaust pipe. This option is more correct and significantly more budget depending on the size and requirements of the catalyst unit.
    2. Replacing the catalyst with a flame arrester. This work generally removes the catalyst from the system. Instead of a catalyst is installed a flame arrester (pre-resonator), which does not clean the exhaust gases, but only smooths the exhaust stream, removing extraneous sounds that will occur if you simply remove the catalyst.

    From the point of view of chemistry, the catalyst is a non-wearing component. However, in practice, the catalyst in the exhaust system fails first.

    In case of universal catalyst installation, there is only one drawback. A universal catalyst, like the original one, is very dependent on external factors. Therefore, it is impossible to give a full guarantee on it. Usually, they work for 60-80 thousand km, but may fail even earlier if there is a failure in the ignition system or in the engine operating system.

    In any case for high-quality diagnostic, it’s recommended to use services of the reliable car service. In such case, personalized approach is guaranteed. You can sell the used catalytic converter on the website autocatalystmarket.com.

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Just 15 of these came into the country priced at R3.57m.

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
