The love of our citizens for prestigious SUVs such as Range Rover, Mercedes-Benz and BMW has not disappeared with the outbreak of the crisis. They buy them, as before, on the secondary market or get them from Europe. Then there is the matter of preserving or even improving regular features. And here are cunning masters who are not averse to making money on it. About why you should not succumb to the persuasion of “specialists”, says the portal “AvtoVzglyad”.
Most full-size SUVs are equipped with diesel engines. A heavy fuel engine accelerates a three-ton “device” much more powerfully and consumes less fuel. Savings! And all cars have a node that domestic mates consider superfluous and want to remove immediately after purchasing a thoroughbred “iron horse”. This is a particulate filter, that is, an ecology “thing”.
The fact is that the device gradually becomes clogged with soot, which is commonly called ash. Therefore, both the ash content of the fuel itself and the composition of the oil affect its normal operation. However, both are not of very high quality.
And a filter clogged by 80% leads to the fact that the fuel does not have time to evaporate, which leads to a decrease in the viscosity of the lubricant. The result is a pressure drop and engine overhaul. Guided by these arguments, the owners are sent to the service to give the car for “amputation”, especially if the corresponding error has lit up on the “neat” and the dynamics have deteriorated.
You shouldn’t. The reason may be something else. Let’s say the temperature sensor is “blank”. And you just need to wash the radiators or the intake, which is not very expensive. But only for the filter you have to pay from 200,000 rubles, plus work.
The masters of the Winde service center are also opposed to the move. They are convinced that if the system works, then it is not necessary to touch it. The arguments are as follows. In gasoline cars, removing the “cats” gives a real increase in power, because they really hinder “breathing” there.
But for a short-stroke “diesel”, the notorious “ecology” gives minimal interference. It turns out that the “trepanation” of a usable node is a waste of money. No noise, no extra horsepower. Only the smoke that the driver inhales with full breasts. But it contains nitrogen oxides, soot and carbon monoxide: directly harmful to health.
