Chevrolet Matiz - Video tutorial

Model: Chevrolet Matiz MK 1 - Years 1998-2010
Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: The reasons why the Chevrolet Matiz emits a lot of smoke.

In this video, we see how our YouTuber found various reasons why the Chevrolet Matiz was producing so much smoke. Firstly, it was due to the fact that, being a dual fuel (petrol/LPG) vehicle, the previous owner had neglected the maintenance (as unfortunately often happens with these dual fuel systems). A problem was then found with the cylinder head, which required replacement not only of the gasket but the entire cylinder head, obtained from a used parts supplier. Since the car continued to produce a lot of black smoke, it was finally discovered that the issue was with the catalytic converter, which was filled with the most terrible dirt. Once cleaned, the car started running well again. These are therefore the main reasons for the smoke emitted from the exhaust.
