Steps for cleaning a three-way catalytic converter: 1. Place the removed three-way catalytic converter vertically in a container. Shake a bottle of three-way catalytic cleaner well and pour it into the high-pressure spray gun's container, then tighten it. Connect the air hose and evenly spray the cleaner onto the inner grid of the catalytic converter. The converter can be turned around repeatedly for thorough cleaning; 2. After the cleaner is used up, fill the spray gun container with water and spray continuously for more than three bottles; 3. Perform a road test of 3 to 20 kilometers to activate the catalyst in the three-way catalytic converter. At the same time, the vehicle's ECU will complete its self-learning process. At this point, the car's power and acceleration performance will significantly improve. Use an exhaust gas analyzer to check all indicators, and if they meet the standards, the process is complete.

What to Do When the Volkswagen Tiguan's Exhaust Pipe Emits Black Smoke?

Possible causes for black smoke from the exhaust pipe include issues with the oxygen sensor, leading to black smoke emission, unstable idling, and shaking during acceleration. It is necessary to use a diagnostic computer to check for fault codes. If the faults cannot be cleared, the oxygen sensor may need replacement. Check whether the air flow meter and intake pressure sensor are malfunctioning. Black smoke indicates incomplete engine combustion. Given the unstable engine idling in combination with the ignition system, it is advisable to inspect the spark plugs' condition. Regular cleaning of carbon deposits inside the engine cylinders is also recommended. The air filter needs to be replaced periodically, and fuel with an octane rating of 95 or higher should be used.

How to Calculate Engine Horsepower?

Engine horsepower calculation: 1 kilowatt (kW) equals 1.36 horsepower. Below is relevant information about horsepower: Introduction to Horsepower: Horsepower is a commonly used unit of power measurement in engineering technology, serving as a physical quantity to measure a car's top speed. Higher horsepower results in a higher top speed for the vehicle. Torque, on the other hand, measures the car's acceleration capability. Greater torque means better acceleration performance, indicating more power. Location of Horsepower Indication in Cars: Horsepower has been abolished in the national legal metrology units, but nowadays, cars use kilowatts to indicate power. Generally, a car's horsepower can be found in the engine compartment on a nameplate, which also displays the weight, engine power, and the number of passengers allowed, among other details.
