WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IF YOUR CAR HAS P0402?


If your car has excessive exhaust gas recirculation flow, that is, P0402 then chances are your car is giving you a lot of trouble. It refers to a condition in which the EGR valve passes excessive recirculated exhaust gases into the intake manifold. 



Such problems arise in several cars, such as in the VW Tiguan and Volvo S70. If there are chances of P0402 in VW Tiguan, it is better to get consultations from trained and experienced mechanics. The causes of P0402 can vary from the EGR getting stuck to the loosening of the EGR valve, while its symptoms can vary from the illumination of the ‘check engine light’ to the rough running of the engine. Here are a few things you can do to cure your car of P0402: 

Replacing EGR valve 

Most of the P0402 cases arise due to the jamming of the EGR valve. Hence, it is better to replace this valve. 

Replacing broken catalyst in the exhaust 

When there is a broken catalyst in the exhaust, chances are it would give rise to P0402. Since the component itself is broken, the best option is to replace it. 


Cleaning the EGR temperature sensor
When the EGR temperature sensor is faulty, the temperature can show a lot of variation. Thus, cleaning the carbon from it or simply replacing it is the most idyllic course of action. 

If left untreated, the P0402 can cause a great deal of trouble to both the owner as well as to the car. Thus, it is advised to get immediate help from seasoned mechanics to efficiently address this problem.

Hence, go for fuel injector cleaning , only when you can observe the symptoms.      But, the question remains why these cleaning services are necessary for your car? Here are a few of the many reasons to answer this question:  Supreme perform...

STAGES OF ENGINE VALVE CLEANING SYSTEM

Image
The engine valve cleaning machines are usually equipped with 4-stage aqueous cleaning system and mostly use detergent chemicals as aqueous solvents. So, read on as we unravel the engine valve cleaning machine system step-by-step. Pre-Cleaning Tank The engine components at this stage are first dipped in hot solvents with temperatures close to 70 Celsius. This stage aids the removal of most of the oil along with ensuring a coarse clean for all the components. Subsequently, the engine components are administered to a flood wash by returning the detergent chemicals through an educator. Though, sometimes the components are also dunked to the brim to ensure better impingement and oil dissolution. Soak Cleaning The soak cleaning process is largely similar to the pre-cleaning tank process. With the exception, that in this stage solvents are replaced by aqueous detergent chemicals that ensure an even finer cleaning of the components. Additionally, the solvents used...

WHY IS ENGINE VALVE CLEANING IMPORTANT?

Image
Automotive engine valve cleaning is necessary if you want your vehicle to stand the test of time. An engine is like the heart of a vehicle, and just like a heart needs oxygen to survive, the engine also needs air to burn fuel, the elixir which makes it run.                                                          It is the engine valves which allow the intake and out-take of air which further helps the engine to combust fuel. If anything were to happen to these valves, it would also have an indirect effect on the performance as well as on efficiency. Therefore, engine valve cleaning is extremely important to ensure the long-term wellbeing of a vehicle.  Here are a few of the many reasons to show you the ...
