Volkswagen Golf Catalytic Converter

The primary task of the Volkswagen Golf Catalytic Converter is to convert toxic exhaust gases into much cleaner compounds before they move through the tailpipe. Hot exhaust enters a ceramic honeycomb covered with platinum, palladium and rhodium catalysts, where carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons are converted into water and carbon dioxide, and nitrogen oxides are reduced to harmless nitrogen. The three-way design is the only design that has been seen in both past and current Golf models and thus no significant design changes are captured, but individual units endeavor to achieve a compromise between low emissions and minimal back pressure. Clogs, melts or cracks in the substrate caused by misfires, excessively rich fuel mixtures, coolant or oil spills or road debris can cause power loss, rattles, sulfur smells, a glowing check engine light and even failure of a smog inspection. A Catalytic Converter that is clogged is similar to a blocked straw and causes the engine to strain. Previous models had been issued with a five to ten year or one hundred thousand mile warranty against emissions, which Volkswagen had placed to limit the warranty to the Catalytic Converter, which contained expensive precious metal hardware. Once that coverage runs out, replacement is expensive, and therefore Volkswagen owners will want to keep the engine in tune; this way converter efficiency is maintained, and the environment is not compromised by failing to fix leaks or misfires, which uphold the original low pollution promise that Volkswagen had given.

Q: How to remove the front exhaust pipe and catalytic converter as a single assembly on Volkswagen Golf?
A:
The catalytic converter and the front exhaust pipe are between one component. Start by taking off the engine cover. Weakening procedure- Loosen the right-front wheel bolts and then raise the front of the vehicle and place it on jackstands. The second step is to remove the under-vehicle splash shield. Lose the inner fender liner to the right, as needed. The next step is to take out the upstream and downstream Oxygen Sensors of the catalytic converter. Should you have it, take out the heat shield at the turbo charger. Afterward, remove the fasteners / clamps, which hold the front exhaust pipe with the catalytic converter to a manifold, cylinder head and or turbocharger. Unscrew the support ejaculatory bracket bolts and eliminate the support bracket. Disassemble the connections between the clamps which hold the catalytic converter to the rear exhaust and take out the catalytic converter along with the front exhaust pipe. Get rid of the old flange gasket and clamps. To install, follow the reverse procedure of the removal, and make sure to apply new gaskets and self-locking nuts when securing all the fasteners.
