Vitz Catalytic Converter issue?

I think our member loves this movie and this line of the movie.

So 0W20 is good or not or we should stick to the regular 10-30

after first post issue
now result is as under

السلام علیکم
میری گاڑی کچھ عرصہ سے فل ٹینک 35 لٹر میں کلومیٹرز 400- 450 کر رہی تھی
کچھ دن پہلے میری وٹز نےموٹر وے پر ڈرائیونگ کرتے کرتے 120 کی اسپیڈ سے یکدم فل پیڈل کے ساتھ بھی 80 کی سپیڈ سے اوپر جانا چھوڑ دیا
میں واپس گھر جوہرآباد پہنچ کر اپنے میکنک کے پاس گیا
اس نے مجھے کیٹ کنورٹر کے چوک ہونے اور اس کے واش کا بول کر ایک سلنسر ویلڈنگ والے کے پاس بھیجا
انہوں نے کیٹ کنورٹر کھول کر اسے اپنے پاس سے اک بوتل میں موجود محلول جو بقول ان کے نمک کا پانی یا تیزاب تھا اس سے واش کر کے کچھ دیر کیٹ کنورٹر کو الٹا کر کے رکھ دیا
جس میں سے گندا مواد جھاگ کی صورت باہر نکلا
اور پھر انہوں نے کیٹ کنورٹر کو دوبارہ فٹ کر دیا
انہوں نے چارجز 1000 روپے لیے
کیٹ کنورٹر کی صفائی کے بعد گاڑی ہلکی بھی محسوس ہوئی ہے
اور الحمداللہ ایوریج بھی اچھی ہو گئی ہے

Good that it worked, but from next time, never get it washed from acid.

It will permanently ruin and damage the Cat. Conv.

[bahadar]

then what i can do next time

[haseeb.basharat]

Use liqui moly catalytic converter cleaner.
You can also use proficar or oxicat catalytic converter cleaner. Just put them in full fuel tank after like 15-20000kms and drive on high rpms for 20minutes max consistently.

[basitali87]

Either use Liqui Moly Cat. Conv. Cleaner, or go to Motor Clean.

Proficar Cat. Conv. Cleaner does not prove effective in JDMs, and I am saying it based on my personal experience in Passo.

[Xulfiqar]

motorclean are nothing but a scam! - they are shooting steam in the name of "hydrogen" - in real life you dont want to see hydrogen hit a 400C catalytic converter, it will be shab baraat with beautiful fireworks and your car will be burnt to a toast. LOL

free entertainment nonetheless.

[haseeb.basharat]

• in real life you dont want to see hydrogen hit a 400C

True. Hydrogen catches fire quicker then petrol. Somehow they clean the catcon to the best. Is that possible with steam?

[Xulfiqar]

I can clean a cat converter too with super hot water and some mild organic acid to brighten the substrate only if mildly poisoned, I can also accomplish this by accelerating the car vigorously at highway speed for a solid 20 minutes to self clean it.

But if the cat is plugged with solid debris its dead, I throw it out and replace with new part

That motorclean workshop outfit is literally garbage, i can bet you they will never show you any pressure test of a cat before their job. I still have my open offer for them to clean DPF of diesels of heavy haulers by few hundred count every week. They havent replied yet and their provided addresses are all fake too.

[haseeb.basharat]

I see. Well I believe you in that regord as you just cannot use hydrogen other then fuel. That's basic chemistry.
So using these catcon cleaners in fuel is better. Proficar one is cheap and gives great results in corolla btw.

[dms664]

Have u used the profi car one? I am considering it as it is to use. I have to just mix it in fuel tank. The liqu moly one is not user friendly to apply.

[haseeb.basharat]

Yes. Many times. 115k kms driven without any catcon service.
Consider proficar 5in1. It's slightly expensive but an all rounder.
Liqui moly has two different types of cleaners. Both cans look similar.
1. It must be poured in a fuel tank.
2. It must be injected directly from throttle body.

[rozzzzz]

very right....mostly i recommand using profi car cat cleaner which is added to fuel.....100% results....have used on many customers cars ....... never use desi cleaning as it will distroy it .......

[rozzzzz]

salam brother are you taking about the Motor clean in islamabad ? ... i normally check by the temperature of both sensors and if cam is not available ...a differance of 200 between both temperatures normally give a 40% blockage

[krafiq]

I have used both profi car cat cleaner and liqui moly catalytic converter clean which is added directly to the fuel tank. PROFICAR i got for around rs1000, while LM is around 2800-2900.
Did not feel any difference after using profi car. Liquid moly is a work in progress. LM staff guided to either use it on a long route ( as per them it works best this way) or drive aggressively/ at high RPMs for 20-25 km, which I have done. Now noting the vehicle performance.
One more thing, as per LM this additive works for up to 2000 Km( Two Thousand Kilometers) and due to poor fuel quality needs to be reapplied

[krafiq]

How is PROFICAR 5 in 1? How has been your experience? Is it effective? For how many km it's effects lasts? Also how much does it cost?

[haseeb.basharat]

not feel any difference after using profi car

For proficar you need to mantain rpm at 3-4k for 30mins consistently. At 115k kms odometer and catcon never cleaned. Still optimal economy and power.

[haseeb.basharat]

It does the job pretty nicely. Effect lasts for 1000kms since you poured it. Catcon and injector cleaning was my main requirement from it. I used it on m5 motorway and mantain 3.5k rpm for 30mins.

[haseeb.basharat]

One more thing, as per LM this additive works for up to 2000 Km( Two Thousand Kilometers) and due to poor fuel quality needs to be reapplied

Only use when there is a need..like I use cat con cleaner after driving for like 10 to 15000kms not less then that.
