Suzuki Baleno Catalytic Converter 1 (I) (1995-2002)

The catalytic converter for Suzuki Baleno 1 (first generation EG, 3/5 doors, 1995-2002) is a device that reduces harmful exhaust emissions from petrol engines, mainly for the 1.3i (G13BA, SY413) model. It uses a ceramic or metallic monolith coated with precious metals such as platinum, palladium, and rhodium to convert CO, HC, and NOx into less harmful gases, complying with Euro 2 emission standards.

The catalytic converters are mainly compatible with petrol engines of Suzuki Baleno 1, including:

• 1.3 i 16V (SY413) producing 85 HP, produced from 1995 to 2002
• 1.3 i 8V (G13BA) producing 65 HP, produced from 1995 to 2000
• Other 1.3i, 1.6i, and 1.8i petrol engines produced circa 1995-2000

Each catalytic converter length and specifications may slightly vary depending on engine type and production period.

Key technical features include:

• Length: 415 mm for 8V engines, standard 800 mm versions and up to 1070 mm with mounting fixings
• Weight: ranges from 3.55 kg to 4.2 kg depending on model
• Emission Standard: Euro 2 compliance
• Mounting: Some models include mounting hardware for installation
• Engine type: Petrol only

These converters contain a monolithic core treated with precious metal coatings to ensure efficient catalytic performance.

To choose an appropriate catalytic converter, consider the following:

• Check your engine code (G13BA or SY413) and verify the exact year of manufacture
• Determine if your engine is 8V or 16V to select the compatible converter length
• Confirm Euro 2 compliance to meet environmental requirements
• Assess mounting options and weight if relevant for your installation

Always verify technical data or consult your vehicle manual to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.

Common indications of a bad catalytic converter include:

• Illuminated fault or check engine light on the dashboard
• Reduced engine performance or acceleration
• Increased fuel consumption
• Strange smells or excessive exhaust smoke
• Failed emissions test or increased harmful emissions

If you notice these signs, a diagnostic check using an OBD tool is advised to confirm the issue before replacing the catalytic converter.

The price of a Suzuki Baleno 1 catalytic converter depends on the model, quality, and supplier. Costs can vary broadly depending on:
