How to Maintain the Jaguar X-Type Catalytic Converter: Key Tips Owners Should Follow
The Jaguar X-Type can burn a lot of gas pretty quickly; that's one of the reasons it comes fitted with a high-performance catalytic converter. But your Jaguar's catcon will also quickly burn through its service life if not maintained properly. Excess heat and contaminated fuel are some of the things that can harm the catalytic converter, and all these can turn this exhaust component into junk within a short period of time. Maintenance of the Jaguar X-type catalytic converter is key to prolonging its service life. Here are some essential ways on how you can do just that:
- Do not let the engine overheat.
The first and, arguably, the most important step to ensuring a trouble-free catalytic converter is to keep the engine running at normal operating temperatures. Low coolant levels, cooling system leaks, or faulty engine parts can cause it to rapidly overheat, and the extra-hot exhaust gas it generates can melt the ceramic substrate and the matting of the catalytic converter, rendering it useless and blocking the passage of exhaust from the manifold to the muffler.
- Change the engine oil regularly.
Many car owners make the mistake of running their cars with expired engine oil, but this will come at the expense of damaging the catcon in the long run. Once it turns bad, engine oil can actually speed up the wear of the engine's various valves and seals. Eventually, these will let the engine oil pass through and mix with the fuel in the combustion chamber. In turn, the oil-tainted exhaust will coat and damage the converter substrate.
In the Jaguar's manual and the engine oil container, you'll find information on when the oil should be changed, so make sure to promptly follow them. Also, if you notice thick blue smoke coming out from the exhaust—a sure sign of engine oil contamination—have the car inspected by a mechanic as soon as you can.
- Take note of any strange sounds from the exhaust.
The Jaguar's catcon is designed to operate quietly, so when you start to hear sounds coming out of it, there could be something wrong with it. Rattling or clanking noises, for instance, may indicate that the catalyst inside the converter shell has come loose. Popping sounds, on the other hand, are a likely indicator that the converter is clogged and exhaust is rolling back to the engine.
The catalytic converter of the Jaguar X-Type is practically maintenance-free; aside from the regular emissions checkups from your mechanic, this device will chug along just fine for a long period. However, the flip side of this is that once the converter does act up, it will cause havoc to the exhaust system and will, in almost all cases, require replacement. Although it is a rare occurrence, knowing the signs of Jaguar X-Type catalytic converter failure is crucial to minimize the damage caused by a malfunctioning catcon to the engine. Below are some of these signs:
There's a sharp drop in fuel economy.
The Jaguar X-Type isn't exactly the type to sip gas, but when your vehicle starts to burn too much fuel, a faulty catalytic converter and its oxygen sensor may be to blame. A catalytic converter and oxygen sensor that's contaminated with chemicals other than those normally found in exhaust gas–such as silicone-based oils–can result in inaccurate readings and reduced performance. If you notice that your car is consuming more fuel that what you'd normally expect, take out the oxygen sensor, clean it, and put it back to the converter. If the fuel economy still doesn't improve or the engine light comes on, have the converter checked by a mechanic.
The engine is misfiring.
If the muffler starts to sound like a Western shootout, there's something preventing the exhaust gas and it's likely in the catalytic converter. This is especially true if the engine has recently overheated, as the extra-hot exhaust can melt the converter's catalyst substrate and matting. The resulting gooey mess can block the exhaust from exiting through the muffler, causing it to roll back to the engine and cause it to misfire.
Thick blue smoke is coming out of the muffler.
When your car starts to emit thick smoke with a noticeably bluish tint, it's not because a Smurf got trapped in the pipes. More often than not, it's due to engine oil contamination. Expired engine oil can wear down the engine's seals and piston rings, leak through the combustion chamber, and mix with the fuel. The resulting tainted exhaust gas coats and damages the converter's innards, resulting in the distinctive blue smoke and a broken converter.
