Nissan Almera Catalytic Converter

A catalytic converter is a key component of your Nissan Almera's exhaust system. It reduces harmful emissions by converting toxic gases from the engine into less harmful substances, thus helping to protect the environment and comply with emission regulations.

Catalytic converters for Nissan Almera vary by model year, engine type, and specifications. Here are some key details:

• Nissan Almera N16 (2000-2006) petrol engines include 1.8 QG18DE (114 CV / 84 kW), 1.5 16v QG15DE, and 1.6 16v engines with specific OE references.
• Diesel variants like 1.5 dCi K9K (82 CV / 60 kW) use dedicated catalytic converter silencers.
• Nissan Almera N15 (1995-2000) petrol engines include 1.4 87 CV and 1.4i 16v GA14DE with Euro 2/3 homologation.
• Some catalytic converters are compatible with multiple models across Nissan ranges from 1989 to 2000.

Always verify your vehicle model and engine type before ordering.

To select the suitable catalytic converter for your vehicle, follow these steps :

• Check your vehicle’s model year and engine specifications (cylinder capacity, fuel type, power output).
• Use your vehicle identification number (VIN) or original equipment (OE) reference to confirm compatibility.
• Consult the main reference codes linked to your Nissan Almera catalytic converter, like 2080040F27, 2080056J25 for certain models.

This helps ensure proper fitment, functionality, and compliance with emission standards.

The catalytic converter must meet high quality standards because :

• It withstands high temperatures and corrosive exhaust gases.
• It ensures optimal catalytic conversion efficiency for pollution control.
• Quality parts support better engine performance and fuel efficiency.
• Low-quality catalytic converters may degrade quickly, impacting emissions and possibly triggering warning lights.

Choosing a catalytic converter made of high-grade stainless steel with certified monolith technology guarantees durability and compliance with emission norms.

A catalytic converter kit may include :

• The catalytic converter unit adapted to your Nissan Almera's engine and exhaust pipe dimensions.
• Installation accessories or mounting components if specified (e.g., gaskets, brackets).
• Compatibility with exhaust headers and sensors like oxygen sensors.

Always verify that the kit matches your vehicle’s exact model and engine specifications before purchase.

Maintaining your catalytic converter involves :

• Regular engine servicing to avoid issues like oil or coolant leaks that can damage the catalytic converter.
• Ensuring proper fuel combustion and oxygen sensor operation to prevent clogging or overheating of the catalytic converter.
• Addressing any exhaust system leaks or damage that may affect flow and catalytic converter performance.

If repair or replacement is necessary, use only high-quality, vehicle-specific catalytic converters and professional installation to preserve vehicle performance and pollution control.

Yes, differences include :

• Diesel models like the 1.5 dCi use catalytic converters often integrated with diesel particulate filters (DPFs) or specific silencers suitable for diesel exhaust gases.
• Petrol models such as 1.6 16v or 1.8 QG18DE have catalytic converters designed for petrol combustion characteristics with appropriate honeycomb coatings.
• The catalytic converter materials and monolith structure differ to match fuel type, emission standards, and thermal profiles.

Confirm the fuel type and engine code to select the right catalytic converter and ensure compatibility with your vehicle's emission control systems.

For expert advice and guarantees :

• Check certified suppliers offering catalytic converters manufactured in high-quality stainless steel with official emission certifications.
• Verify availability of installation manuals and compatibility checks by VIN or engine reference.
• Use professional services or technical support to analyse faulty parts or confirm sensor placement.
• Access warranty information—typically 3 years or 100,000 km for factory-new parts—and aftersales technical assistance.

Relying on certified parts and expert support ensures your Nissan Almera runs cleanly and efficiently with compliant exhaust emissions.
