It worked for me, I found your video for validation of my own idea, which you and probably many others found first. Thanks! Glad it works, and I only gave mine a short time in the oven, 10 minutes or so, the entire oven is harder to heat than a part in the upper shelf, so it doesn’t really need much time in the oven. I could see shiny silver under the heat shield after one application.
Haha, I just did this to my C1. I've had a faultcode P0420 for months, deleted the code many times to see how fast it was returning. It came back in a day or two. And I tried to graph the o2s2, and saw it was going up and down like o2s1. I was about to give up and change it, but I wanted to have a look down the lambda hole, it did not look that bad at all down there, but it seemed like there was something minuscule in some of the holes. So i just said to myself f..it I'll try some oven cleaner. And it seemes like it worked! The graph got a lot better, and there is no pending fault codes and my obd2 app checked the converter with "passed" for the first time. I can add that my car was filled up with diesel some months ago, and this may be what clogged the converter. The oven cleaner I used was a norwegian brand called "Plumbo ovnsrens." A whole spray bottle, sprayed around 1/4 at a time and waited like 15 min between each time.
I actually tried the same thing last week but it was too tight. My plan was to open up the bottom flange and stick a hose pipe though the sensor hold ( i want water to come out of the bottom instead of getting caught in the exhaust system ). Anyway im going to try to get a better 22mm
The level of no fucks given is immense on this channel, I've followed since last November and love the videos, you could be the UK's answer to Neutral Drop!
@@joebloggs3629 always pal. If it gives up I’ll acquire another shitter. I’ve become quite partial to the thing though, so I’d probably actually waste the time, money and effort on fixing the turd if it did snuff it 🤣
Hi, thank you for the reply . I done what you mentioned it did take the engine light fault for few days and it came bk !!. I also heard someone say using oven cleaner can do damage to engine is that true . Many thks
Ok I did this but I poured in engine cleaner and stuck a hose pipe in afterwards. I opened the bottom flange below the catalytic convertor so the water could run out cos its not like I could lift my car up in the air to let the water out
Hey bud, when i drive for 5 mins. The hole car smells like burdes gasoline and oil, if i pop the hood there is a strong smell coming from the catalyc converter. Could it be that my catalystic us dead or can is try this method?
On my Peugeot 107 the flange of the exhaust manifold was falling apart by rust, so the gasket wasn't pressed properly to the cylinder head,, that was the cause of the smell of exhaust gases inside my car. I fixed it, by replacing the car converter, which isn't too expensive as an after market part. I have heard that that there also can occur a crack at the welding seam between the manifold and the cat housing. This can happen when the screw at the lower end of the cat is loose, which normally fixes/supports the cat/manifold to the engine block.
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos thanks reply some people was saying they was getting 180 miles unless they are the slowest drivers in the world I was surprised
How did it go with the carb cleaner? It’s strong stuff, I had a go with it here as a Seafoam alternative ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kQfdeGYhW6w.html
Well if your cat is knackered and won't pass it's MOT then it might well be worth a go before you spend hundreds replacing it. So the video might not be as silly as it seems!
Yea if it’s blocked up from burning oil, which these things do from time to time it could work well to clean it out. I’ve used oven cleaner in that long of crud before and it’s worked extremely well so I thought it was worth a go just to see what the effects were to be honest.
