Ace Auto Services garage Nottingham Is your local exhaust specialist. We supply Exhausts, Catalytic Converters and Lambda Sensors for all makes and models of vehicle. We have even been known to alter exhausts to suit the vehicle where none are available. Most exhausts supplied and fitted the same day.

Ever wonder what a "cat"is? A Catalytic Converter? Cata What? Yes you're right, Catalytic Converter's were not around 25 years ago and exhausts are a little more complex now a days than you might think.

The "cat " is the part of your exhaust that cleans the gasses coming from your engine, the other boxes muffle the sound and between them they create back pressure. If the exhaust gets damaged holed or blocked your vehicle won't run properly and use a lot more fuel, therefore increasing the emissions created by your vehicle and the cost to you (Mot failure) ( fitting wrong and modified parts has the same effect) Have Ace Auto Services garage Nottingham check your exhaust at the first sign of trouble. Leaving it can have serious consequences, not to mention extra expense. If you want to know why then read on.

The technical bit

The Lambda sensor sits between the engine and the catalytic converter, a defective Lambda orO2 sensor can trigger the Engine Management light and also affect your cars fuel consumption. An O2 sensor (lambda sensor) has an expected life span of about 30,000 to 50,000 miles.
Sensors may fail prematurely if clogged with carbon, or contaminated by lead from leaded fuel or silicone from an antifreeze leak or from silicone sealer. O2 sensors become sluggish as they age. Eventually the signal does not change at all. When this happens, the check engine light may come on, and the engine may experience drive ability problems or damage caused by an overly rich fuel condition.
High fuel consumption, high CO and HC emissions, poor idle, and/or hesitation during acceleration are typical complaints. If the average voltage from the O2 sensor is running high (more than 0.50V), it indicates a rich condition, possibly due to a bad MAP sensor or leaky injector. If the average voltage reading is running low (less than 0.45V), the mixture is running lean possibly due to a vacuum leak or because the sensor itself is bad. If the O2 sensor continually reads high (rich), it will cause the engine computer to "lean out" the fuel mixture in an attempt to compensate for the rich reading. This can cause lean misfire, hesitation, stumbling, poor idle, high hydrocarbon emissions (from misfiring) and engine damage. If the O2 sensor continually reads low (lean), it will cause the engine computer to "enrich" the fuel mixture. Injector pulse width will be increased causing fuel consumption and carbon monoxide emissions to go up. A constantly rich fuel mixture can cause the catalytic converter to overheat and it may melt.
