The reason for the loss of power of the car engine can be coking oil deposits on the piston rings. Sergei Shabunin, the main buyer of the Veshnyaki Avto technical center, told socialbites.ca about this. According to him, the main problems of engines are also associated with poor-quality oil, defects in the catalyst, fuel filter or valve cover.
“An engine can lose power severely even in the first year of operation due to bad engine oil deposits. It burns quickly and releases large amounts of carbon deposits that clog the piston rings. “The engine gets cocaine and runs worse,” Shabunin said.
Often the power loss is due to an old catalytic converter clogged with dirt. If you go to overtake such a car, the service man warns, you may not have time to complete it on time. Shabunin emphasized that the service life of a catalyst is usually 120,000 kilometers, after which it loses its effectiveness.
“Another possible cause of engine power loss is the fuel filter. It is usually invisibly hidden under the car. If it is dirty, gasoline passes through it more slowly, the pressure in the fuel rail and injectors drops, and as a result, engine power decreases, ”said the expert.
According to the expert, the cylinder head cover can less often cause a power drop in a car. The crankcase ventilation valve built into it can become clogged over time, affecting the performance of the engine. At the same time, on some cars, the covers are replaced only as an assembly, and the spare part itself is very expensive.
