Peugeot 407 Catalytic Converter

A catalytic converter is an essential component of the exhaust system of your Peugeot 407. It is designed to reduce harmful emissions by converting toxic gases from the engine’s exhaust into less harmful substances before release into the atmosphere. This device helps your vehicle comply with emission standards such as Euro 3 and Euro 4. It plays a vital role in keeping your car environmentally friendly and safe to drive.

Signs of a faulty catalytic converter may include a fault warning light on the dashboard specifically related to the exhaust emission system, poor engine performance, or unusual exhaust smells. It is important to accurately diagnose the issue by checking the engine code, oxygen sensors, and related components connected to the catalytic converter system.

The catalytic converter models vary according to engine type, vehicle model, production year, and emission standards:

• Petrol Versions: For example, the Peugeot 407 Coupé 2.2 16V (engine code 3FY - EW12J4) features front and rear catalytic converters ranging from 290 mm to 2780 mm in length and weighing between 4.1 kg to 14.7 kg.
• Diesel Versions: The Peugeot 407 SW 1.6 HDi (engine code 9HY - DV6TED4) catalytic converters vary between 420 mm and 580 mm, weighing between 3 to 3.6 kg, commonly without DPF for some models.
• Catalytic converters comply with OBD standards and are designed for specific Euro norms (Euro 3 and Euro 4).

Always check your vehicle’s engine code and Euro standard to select the right catalytic converter reference ensuring compatibility.

The catalytic converters for Peugeot 407 share these technical characteristics:

• Compliance with emission standards Euro 3 (D3) and Euro 4 (D4), suitable for OBD-equipped vehicles.
• Lengths vary by position: 290 mm for front positions, 420-580 mm for diesel versions, and up to 2780 mm for full systems.
• Weights range between 3 to 15 kg depending on the model and size.
• Manufactured with durable stainless steel and equipped with advanced monoliths featuring rare metal coatings for effective pollutant conversion and long service life.

These features ensure reliable operation and compliance with legal exhaust emission limits.

To choose the correct catalytic converter for your Peugeot 407, you should:

• Check your vehicle’s engine code located on the engine block or vehicle identification number (VIN) for exact match.
• Verify the emission standard (Euro 3 or Euro 4) applicable to your vehicle model and production year.
• Consider whether your vehicle is petrol or diesel, and if it has a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).
• Use the original part reference numbers if possible, or consult with trusted catalogs that provide compatibility data.

This ensures your new catalytic converter fits properly and functions safely within your exhaust system.

Replacing your catalytic converter requires attention to several important factors:

Ensure the replacement part is brand new and certified to meet European regulations and vehicle specifications. Replacing it with inferior or non-certified components can cause emission faults and car performance issues.

• Confirm compatibility with your engine type and emission standard.
• Choose catalytic converters made from high-quality materials such as stainless steel with advanced monoliths for durability and effectiveness.
• Prefer models equipped with secure mounting and sensor connections as your original system, preserving oxygen sensor and exhaust system integrity.

A professional installation or thorough manual support is recommended for reliable, safe replacement.

To ensure your Peugeot 407 catalytic converter remains in optimal condition, consider the following:

• Regularly check and maintain the oxygen sensors and exhaust system to prevent fault codes.
• Monitor engine condition and avoid excessive fuel or oil consumption that may harm the catalytic converter.
• Ensure the engine runs at the proper temperature and the turbo and transmission systems function correctly.
• Have diagnostics performed promptly if the fault light related to the exhaust emission system appears.

Proper vehicle maintenance and timely intervention help prevent damage and keep your catalytic converter performing safely and efficiently.
