UNDERSTANDING YOUR CAR’S EXHAUST SYSTEM

Most people love their cars, but we often overlook the importance of the exhaust. That’s understandable ‒ we just want to get to our destination on time and in one piece, right? Travelling through the Mornington Peninsula can be pure bliss with our beautiful natural surroundings, but driving safely and carefully is of the utmost importance for you and your vehicle. If you notice any strange sounds or changes in fuel efficiency, it could be an exhaust problem.

Your car’s fumes are created during combustion in the engine, but if these fumes seeped into the car cabin, you would suffer from carbon monoxide poisoning. This is where the exhaust comes in. The exhaust system of a vehicle is designed to keep harmful gases away from the engine and out of the cabin.

THREE COMPONENTS OF THE EXHAUST:

• Exhaust manifold
• Catalytic converter pipes
• Muffler

The exhaust manifold collects the expelled fumes from the engine and sends them to the catalytic converter, where they are further converted into fuel that was not combusted in the engine. The final exit point is the muffler, and the fumes escape into the air through the tailpipe. You may not realise how loud your car’s exhaust is because it’s the job of the muffler to reduce the sound of the exhaust system as it works hard to protect you during your motoring experience. A really good exhaust will also reduce carbon emissions.

SIGNS YOU NEED EXHAUST REPAIRS

If you really want to get the most value out of your vehicle, it helps to be able to identify the warning signs that tell you when exhaust repairs are needed. If your exhaust system sounds louder than normal, it could mean that your muffler is damaged and requires professional attention. Difficulty with acceleration and sudden changes in your car’s fuel consumption are also signs of exhaust damage. However, the best way to maintain good exhaust and muffler health is by taking your car in for regular checks at the mechanic.

When to take your car to the nearest mechanic in Rosebud:

• Strange noises
• Problems with acceleration
• Abnormal fuel consumption
• Intense driving over long periods
• The ‘check engine’ light is on
• Polluting emissions or darker smoke
