Exhaust System - Overview

OVERVIEW

The GTDi exhaust system is manufactured from stainless steel tubing. It is bolted to the exhaust manifold and is attachedto the underside of the vehicle body with 6 rubber mountings, which are located on hanger bars that are welded to thesystem. The rubber mountings locate on adjacent hanger brackets which are bolted or welded to the underside of thevehicle body and sub-frames.

OPERATION

For detailed information on the HO2S (heated oxygen sensor)'s, refer to Electronic Engine Controls.

Component Description

DESCRIPTION

The exhaust system comprises three separate sections; a front section including a 0.8 liter ceramic pre-catalyst, a centersection incorporating a 1.50 liter ceramic catalyst and a rear section comprising a rear pipe and silencer assembly.

The front section has an inlet flange which mates with the turbocharger outlet. The flange is sealed to the turbochargerwith a gasket and secured with three bolts which screw into the turbocharger housing. An elbow from the flange isconnected to a flexible coupling. The elbow contains a threaded boss for the installation of the front (upstream) HO2S. Abracket welded to the elbow allows for the attachment of a second bracket which secures the front section to the PowerTransfer Unit (PTU). The flexible coupling is connected to the pre-catalyst which in turn is connected by a curved pipe to aflange which mates with the center section and the main catalyst. The curved pipe contains a threaded boss for theinstallation of the rear (downstream) HO2S. A hanger bar with two rubber mountings is connected to a common bracket,which in turn bolts to the rear of the front sub-frame to support the system.

The center section has a flange which connects to the front section flange and is sealed with a metal gasket and securedwith three studs and nuts. The flange is connected to the main catalyst. From the catalyst a short section of pipe connectsto the rear section.

The rear section has a long pipe which is secured to the center section with a clamp. A hanger bar, mounting rubber andbracket secure the forward end of the pipe to the vehicle body. The pipe is routed in a central position under the vehicle,with a slight deviation around the rear differential, where it joins with the rear silencer. The rear silencer is supported bythree rubber mountings; two are welded to the rear subframe and the third is attached to a bracket bolted to the vehiclebody. The 28 liter rear silencer has an outlet pipe at each end. Each pipe is fitted with a stainless steel finisher.

Inspection and Verification

CAUTION: Diagnosis by substitution from a donor vehicle is NOT acceptable. Substitution of control modules doesnot guarantee confirmation of a fault, and may also cause additional faults in the vehicle being tested and/or the donorvehicle.

1. Verify the customer concern.

2. Visually inspect for system integrity and obvious signs of mechanical damage.

Visual Inspection

• Leaks
• Restrictions or blockages
• Metal fatigue
• Pipes, mufflers and catalytic converters
• Joints or gaskets
• Mountings
• Clearance around components

3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceedingto the next step.

4. If the cause is not visually evident, verify the symptom and refer to the Symptom Chart.
