Mercedes CL-Class Catalytic Converter

Catalytic converters for Mercedes CL-Class mainly include parts for generations C215 and CL203/CLC. They are petrol exhaust components compliant with Euro 3, 4 or 5 standards, ranging from 1420 mm to 1710 mm in length and weighing approximately 4.95 to 6.5 kg. Available for various engines such as M271.946 (CLC 180 Kompressor 143 HP), M113.960 (CL 500 5.0 306 HP), and M271.940 (CL200 Kompressor 163 HP), these catalytic converters come with front/rear mounting options, ceramic substrates, and OBD compatibility.

For Mercedes CLC 180 Kompressor (1.8 petrol, 143 HP, engine code 271.946), catalytic converters meet Euro 3 (D3), Euro 4 (D4), and Euro 5 standards. They measure 1420-1440 mm long and weigh 4.95-5 kg, designed for front or rear installation on left-hand drive vehicles (not for US). They include OBD compatibility and ceramic materials, with references such as E57-103R. For CL200 Kompressor (M271.940, 163 HP), Euro 3 standard catalytic converters fit model years 2002/05 to 2006/11.

Mercedes CL 500 (5.0 petrol V8, 306 HP, engine M113.960) uses catalytic converters from Euro 3 to Euro 4 standards from year 1999 onwards. These measure between 1530 and 1710 mm in length, weigh about 6.5 kg, and are fitted on left and right sides with mounting hardware. Ceramic substrates and references such as E9-103R are typical. Other CL models from 1996-1999 with 4.2L petrol engines use Euro 2 standard catalytic converters mainly positioned on the right side.

Yes, models such as C160, C180, C200, C300, CLS350, E200, E300, and GLC with 1.5i or 2.0i 16V petrol engines meet Euro 6 emission standards and use compact catalytic converters approximately 480 mm long and weighing 3.7 kg. These feature monolithic ceramic substrates impregnated with precious metals and engine codes like 246915 (205).

Discover high-quality catalytic converters fitting Mercedes CL-Class vehicles from trusted specialist suppliers. They offer new parts compliant with vehicle requirements, including ceramic substrates, mounting kits, and OBD compatibility. Key purchasing points include:

• New petrol and diesel catalytic converters with warranty
• Accurate fitment by model, engine code, and emission standard
• Fast and secure shipping options, including express delivery
• Customer support for technical compatibility checks

Always verify your vehicle’s VIN, engine code, and Euro norm before ordering to ensure proper match and legal compliance.

To ensure seamless compatibility and regulatory compliance, verify the following details :

• Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) for exact model confirmation
• Engine code and power output (e.g. M271.946, M113.960)
• Emission standard (Euro 3, 4, 5, or 6)
• Drive side (typically left-hand drive for European models)
• OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) system compatibility
• Country of registration (some products are not for USA)

Materials generally include ceramic substrates with certifications such as ECE/ABE/CE compliance. Replacement units usually include mounting hardware for front or rear installation depending on model specifics.

It is strongly recommended not to remove the catalytic converter from your vehicle without replacement as this part is crucial for reducing harmful emissions and complying with environmental regulations. Removing the catalytic converter :

• May cause your vehicle to fail emissions tests
• Can trigger error codes and warning lights on the dashboard
• May lead to legal penalties in many countries
• Can impair engine performance and fuel efficiency

For optimal vehicle operation and legal compliance, replace faulty catalytic converters with certified units designed for your specific Mercedes CL-Class model.

Catalytic converters help reduce toxic emissions by converting harmful gases like carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons into less harmful substances such as carbon dioxide and water vapour. They contain a honeycomb ceramic monolith impregnated with precious metals such as platinum, palladium, and rhodium, which act as catalysts.

• Signs of a failing catalytic converter include:
• Check engine light illuminated related to emission faults
• Reduced engine performance or sluggish acceleration
• Rattling noises from underneath the car indicating loose internal components
• Failed emissions test or visible smoke from exhaust

Replacing the catalytic converter promptly ensures your Mercedes CL-Class meets emission standards, maintains engine efficiency, and prevents costly repairs.

Always select an OEM-equivalent or certified replacement catalytic converter matching your vehicle’s model, engine, and emission specifications.
