Citroen C3 Picasso Catalytic Converter (2009-2017)

A catalytic converter is a key component of the exhaust system designed to reduce harmful emissions from your Citroën C3 Picasso. It converts toxic gases from the engine into less harmful substances before they are released into the atmosphere, ensuring compliance with environmental standards such as Euro 5 and Euro 6.

Catalytic converters for the Citroën C3 Picasso vary depending on the engine type, fuel, and model year. Key engine variants include:

• Petrol engines: 1.2L (code HNZ), 1.4 VTi (95 hp, code 8FS|EP3), 1.4i and 1.6i (Euro 6 standards)
• Diesel engines: 1.6 HDi 92 hp (code 9HP / DV6DTED), 1.6 HDi 112 hp (code 9HR / DV6C), 1.6 TD HDi Blue DPF 100 hp (code DV6FD / BHY)

This ensures that the catalytic converter fits and performs optimally based on the specific engine configuration and exhaust requirements of your vehicle.

To ensure correct fitment, provide detailed vehicle information including:

• Model year and production date
• Engine code (found in section E on your vehicle registration certificate)
• Vehicle registration number
• Type code (for example, D21 or D2)

Many suppliers offer forms allowing you to enter these details for a precise and reliable quotation, helping to find the right catalytic converter for your specific car.

Prices vary depending on the engine type, year, and compliance standard. Indicative prices include:

• 1.2 petrol engines: approximately €240 including taxes
• 1.6 HDi Blue DPF diesel engines (Euro 6): approximately €288 including taxes
• Other variants may have variable pricing depending on weight and length

Delivery times typically range from 24 to 48 hours for most models, with some options offering express shipping within 2-3 days if ordered before midday.

Catalytic converters adhering to Euro 5 or Euro 6 standards ensure:

• Compliance with current vehicle emission regulations
• Successful passage of technical inspections and exhaust gas tests
• Efficient reduction of pollutants, protecting the environment
• Better compatibility with your vehicle's engine management system

Using components designed to meet these standards guarantees reliability, safety, and legal conformity for your Citroën C3 Picasso.
