I - PARTS AND CONSUMABLES FOR THE REPAIR
1 - Parts always to be replaced:
- the seal or sealing ring on the connection between the
catalytic converter or catalytic pre-converter and the
rest of the exhaust system
2 - Consumables:
- surface cleaner
- abrasive pads
II - ADVICE TO OBSERVE
IMPORTANT
Do not park and run the engine in a place where
combustible substances and materials such as
grass or leaves can come into contact with the hot
exhaust system. |
IMPORTANT
Catalytic converters contain ceramic fibres; these
are contained within a closed unit, and cannot disperse.
Cutting or drilling catalytic converters is prohibited. |
1 - During removal and refitting, the catalytic converter
or catalytic pre-converter must not receive any knocks
or impacts as this could damage it.
2 - The whole exhaust pipe is made of stainless steel.
3 - After working on the bracket between the catalytic
converter or catalytic pre-converter and the rest of the
exhaust system, ensure that the connection is perfectly
sealed.
To do this:
- clean the pressure faces of the connection using the
ABRASIVE PADS,
- degrease the pressure faces of the connection using
SURFACE CLEANER and clean cloths,
- always replace the seal or sealing ring on the connection.
Check the following and deal with if necessary:
- no underbody contact between the exhaust system
and the heat shields,
- all of the heat shields are present and secure.
