Environmental Euro standards regarding emission standards for exhaust gases from internal combustion engines forced manufacturers of such a popular car model as Ford Focus 3 to use an additional exhaust filtration option - a catalyst. Installed directly in the branch pipeline, it condenses on itself harmful substances that accumulate in the form of slag deposits and are removed during maintenance. It should be noted right away that:
- Any change in the direction of the flue gas system.
- The muffler itself.
- Catalyst system.
They affect the loss of engine power (it can reach 10 - 15%), which means that to travel a certain distance at a given speed, if they are available, more fuel will be required and, in total, the damage to the environment will be exactly the same (controversial opinion).
So, taking into account the current domestic environmental legislation, removal catalyst Ford Focus 3 , as well as on other budget car brands, not only permitted, but also quite practical saving measure.
Dismantling at a service center
The factory installation of the catalyst in the exhaust system of the vehicle is carried out in compliance with complete sealing. Without exception, all exhaust gases pass through it, therefore removal (dismantling) implies the presence of:
- Special tools and equipment.
- The experience and professionalism of the foremen performing the operation.
- Computer stands for accurate diagnostics.
In this case, the subsequent assembly will be guaranteed to be performed in compliance with the tightness of the joints of the elements to be connected and with no deviations from the direction of movement of the exhaust gases.
You can get more information and sign up for dismantling the catalyst in a Ford Focus 3 car using the official website of the STO Help Auto service center, which provides data and other types of services related to the repair of the exhaust system at a high professional level.
