Citroen C3 Pluriel Catalytic Converter (2003-2010)

The catalytic converter in the Citroën C3 Pluriel is a vital exhaust component that reduces harmful emissions from both petrol 1.4 8V (75 hp, code TU3A/KFV) and diesel 1.4 HDi (68 hp, code DV4D) engines. It complies with Euro 4 standards, featuring a high-quality monolith coated with precious metals to efficiently neutralise pollutants in exhaust gases.

The catalytic converter is designed specifically for:

• Petrol 1.4i 8V (75 hp / 55 kW, engine codes TU3A/KFV/KFW), used from 06/2003 to 12/2011.
• Diesel 1.4 HDi (68 hp / 50 kW, engine code DV4D), fitted from 2004 onwards.

Each version respects the vehicle’s emission control systems and is compatible with OBD and Euro 4 regulations.

Key technical features include:

• Material: Stainless steel body (INOX 409) and high-grade monolith with rare metal coating.
• Dimensions (petrol version): Length between 470 and 620 mm, weight 3.1 to 3.8 kg.
• Certifications: CE/CEE, E-Mark, TÜV SÜD certified, meeting or exceeding Euro 4 emission standards.
• Placement: Positioned at the front of the exhaust system as the first catalytic converter.
• Suitable for vehicles with OBD-equipped engines.

This ensures durability, performance, and compliance with emission regulations.

Signs of a failing catalytic converter include:

• Illumination or flashing of the catalytic converter warning light on your dashboard.
• Reduced engine performance or power loss.
• Unusual heat shield temperatures or overheating in the exhaust area.
• Increased exhaust emissions or failed emissions tests.

If you experience these symptoms, it is recommended to have the catalytic converter checked by a professional for potential replacement.

To select the correct catalytic converter:

• Check your vehicle's engine code (e.g., KFV, TU3A for petrol, or DV4D for diesel).
• Verify your car’s manufacture year to match the compatible catalytic converter reference.
• Look for parts certified to meet Euro 4 emission standards and compatible with your specific engine type and OBD system.
• Consult product descriptions carefully to ensure exact match and proper fitment.

Choosing the right model guarantees optimal performance and compliance with emission regulations.

You can order new, original catalytic converters manufactured in Europe with a 3-year warranty directly from trusted factory sources. These products are crafted from high-quality stainless steel and proven monolith technologies to ensure reliability and durability. Fast delivery options, including express shipping, are often available.

Always confirm product compatibility by entering your engine type and reference code before purchase.

Typically, the catalytic converter comes either as a single-piece unit or as a kit including assembly parts to fit in the exhaust manifold region. Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic to ensure appropriate fitting and prevent potential leaks or damage.

• Includes high-performance catalytic monolith.
• Stainless steel housing with heat shields for protection.
• Assembly parts if part of a kit version.

Proper installation is essential to maintain emissions compliance and engine performance.

The catalytic converter is the main component responsible for converting toxic exhaust gases, such as carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and nitrogen oxides (NOx), into less harmful substances like carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen (N2), and water vapor.

• Maintains compliance with Euro 4 emissions standards.
• Helps reduce air pollution and environmental impact.
• Designed to optimize exhaust flow without significant loss of engine power.
• Integral to systems with DPF on diesel engines, improving overall exhaust treatment.

Replacing a faulty catalytic converter improves emission control and can restore engine efficiency, helping to avoid warning lights and regulatory penalties.
