Audi Q8 Catalytic Converter (2018-Today)

The Audi Q8 catalytic converter is a key component of the vehicle's exhaust system designed to reduce harmful emissions. It uses ceramic catalytic converters positioned close to the engine for efficient treatment of exhaust gases, converting pollutants into less harmful substances before release into the atmosphere.

The Audi Q8 catalytic converter configurations vary based on the engine type:

• V6 TFSI engines: Two ceramic catalytic converters positioned near the engine.
• V6 TDI engines: A single ceramic catalytic converter located near the engine.
• TFSI 4-cylinder inline engines: Similar catalytic converter configuration to the TDI engines.

These setups optimize emissions control based on specific engine technology.

Replacement catalytic converters for the Audi Q8 55 TFSI (from 2015) typically meet the EURO 6 emissions standard and include:

• Weight around 7.4 kg
• Length approximately 1130 mm
• Some models are rated Euro 4 (D4) anti-pollution compliant

For performance variants like the RS FSI Mild Hybrid quattro, catalytic converters are calibrated for high output (e.g., 600 hp / 441 kW).

The Audi Q8 incorporates a comprehensive exhaust emission treatment system that includes:

• Exhaust gas recirculation radiator
• Particulate particle sensor and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
• Exhaust gas flap control unit (J883)
• Multiple silencers (central and side)
• Flexible connection pipes within the exhaust assembly

This integrated system ensures optimal reduction of pollutants and noise.

When selecting a catalytic converter replacement for the Audi Q8, it is crucial to:

• Choose catalytic converters matching your vehicle's engine configuration and emission standards (e.g., EURO 6 or specific power ratings).
• Confirm compatibility by using your vehicle's VIN or original part number to ensure correct fitment and sensor positioning.
• Avoid products described as refurbished or reconditioned; opt for brand-new, certified parts.

This approach guarantees performance, compliance, and longevity of the emission system.

Replacement parts pricing can vary, with examples such as the Audi Q8 55 TFSI catalytic converter offered around €900 during promotional periods. Delivery times estimated by suppliers typically range from 1 to 4 days.

• Prices depend on product specifications, with options from Euro 4 to Euro 6 compliance.
• Delivery options may include express shipping for faster receipt.

Always check product pages for precise price and delivery details for your selection.

Audi Q8 catalytic converters are valuable due to the precious metals used in their construction (such as platinum, palladium, and rhodium) that facilitate chemical reactions reducing vehicle emissions. This intrinsic value unfortunately makes them attractive targets for theft.

• Precious metals embedded in monoliths are expensive and recyclable.
• Stolen converters are sometimes resold or melted for metal recovery.

To protect your vehicle, consider secure parking and anti-theft measures.

For guaranteed fit and compliance, ensure you:

• Use the exact part number or enter your vehicle VIN when selecting products to confirm compatibility.
• Purchase brand-new catalytic converters meeting or exceeding original equipment standards.
• Seek professional advice and installation support if necessary to optimize torque and positioning for sensors.

Following these steps will help maintain your vehicle’s performance and emission compliance.
