Volvo S70 Catalytic Converter

The Volvo S70 Catalytic Converter is important in the sense that it purifies the exhaust gases in such a way that the car emits minimal emissions into the atmosphere. It is mounted in the exhaust stream and causes the hot gases to pass through a ceramic honeycomb coated with platinum, palladium, and rhodium, which are the metals that initiate rapid chemical reactions and are not worn away. Within this maze, the carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons that are not burned off oxidize to carbon dioxide and water and a reduction reaction converts nitrogen oxides into harmless nitrogen, eliminating three major toxins before the tailpipe. The previous Volvo models were based on bead-filled two-way converters that could only treat carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons; however, at the release of the S70 the brand had advanced to the three-way honeycomb style Catalytic Converter that can treat nitrogen oxides as well, can warm up to light off faster, and produce less back pressure to boost engine response. Despite the durability of the unit, misfires, rich fuel mixes, coolant spills, or oil combustion may overheat or leave deposits on the substrate, melting or plugging apertures and resulting in poor power output, rattles, or an illuminated check engine indicator. The shell and pinch weld may also be dented by road debris. In the event that the Catalytic Converter plugs, the Volvo engine computer will register that there is an emissions fault and the engine will run poorly. All in all, this sophisticated device allows Volvo to comply with the high standards of air quality without losing its daily capabilities and reasonable power.

Volvo S70 Catalytic Converter Parts and Q&A

  • Q: What are the essential facts owners should be aware of to ensure the proper functioning of a catalytic converter throughout its service life on Volvo S70?
    A:
    The catalytic converter is a reliable and simple device that requires no maintenance, but there are certain things the owner should know to ensure the correct functioning of this device for its service life. It is crucial to not use leaded petrol as the lead could coat the precious metals, making them less efficient to use and eventually destroying the converter. Keeping the ignition and fuel systems well-maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's schedule is very important. If the engine misfires, the driving of the vehicle should be kept to a minimum until the problem is corrected. Pushing or tow-starting the vehicle can soak the catalytic converter in unburned fuel causing overheating when the engine starts. Switching off the ignition at high engine speeds should be avoided as well as the use of fuel or engine oil additives that can be harmful to the converter. Continuing to use the vehicle with blue smoke coming out from burning oil is not a good idea. The catalytic converter runs at very high temperature, so it should be avoided to park the vehicle in dry undergrowth, long grass, or piles of dead leaves after the vehicle has been run for a long time. Additionally, the converter is delicate and should not be hit with tools during servicing. A sulphureous smell from the exhaust may occur which is common in many vehicles equipped with catalytic converters, but should dissipate after a few thousand miles changing the petrol brand may help in the meantime. A well-maintained and driven vehicle should have a catalytic converter with a life of between 50,000 and 100,000 miles and if they are ineffective, the catalytic converter should be replaced.
