Mercedes CLA-Class Catalytic Converter C117 (2013-2019)

A catalytic converter in the Mercedes CLA-Class C117 is a crucial exhaust system component designed to reduce harmful emissions. It converts toxic gases from the engine exhaust into less harmful substances before they exit the vehicle’s pipe, helping the car meet Euro 5 and Euro 6 emission standards.

The catalytic converter must be specific to the engine variant. Compatible models include :

• CLA 180: 1.6L petrol, 122 HP, years 2013–2019
• CLA 200: 1.6L petrol, 156 HP (M270.910 engine), years 2013–2019
• CLA 200 CDI/d: 2.1L diesel, 136 HP, 4-matic, years 2014 onwards
• Additional CLA 200 CDI versions

Each engine type requires a catalytic converter that meets the corresponding emission standard and size specifications.

Key characteristics include :

• Compliance with Euro 5 and Euro 6 emission norms
• Certification with CE/CEE and E-Mark verification ensuring high quality and legal standards
• Length between 1000 mm and 1100 mm depending on the model
• Weight ranging from 6.65 kg to 8.52 kg
• Internal pipe diameter approx. 65.5 mm in some versions
• Can be mounted in front or rear exhaust system positions

These specifications ensure the converter’s perfect fit and optimal performance for your Mercedes CLA.

Yes, diesel engine variants often need catalytic converters combined with diesel particulate filters (DPF) to reduce particle emissions. For the C117, specialized petrol particulate filters (GPF) and diesel particulate filters (DPF) are available with specific OEM references, such as A2464906381 for certain models.

• DPFs help capture fine soot particles from diesel exhaust
• Combined systems ensure compliance with Euro regulations and cleaner emissions

This equipment is vital for maintaining environmental standards and vehicle performance.

Catalytic converters are generally supplied complete with all necessary assembly components and fixing materials for easy installation. Some models include integrated mounting systems to facilitate fitting on the vehicle’s exhaust pipe. Proper OBD systems are required on the vehicle to ensure optimal compatibility and monitoring.

• Assembly parts and fixing hardware included
• Integrated mounts available on some models
• Compatibility with onboard diagnostics (OBD) systems required

This ensures reliable function and straightforward installation of your exhaust system components.

Signs of a failing catalytic converter may include :

• An illuminated engine warning light on the dashboard
• Reduced engine power and poor exhaust flow
• Unusual or strong exhaust odours or smells
• Increased fuel consumption

If you experience any of these issues, it is advised to have a professional inspection to diagnose the specific problem and confirm if the catalytic converter requires replacement.

Catalytic converters contain precious metals and high-quality materials that enable the chemical reactions to reduce emissions. Their cost depends on :

• Specific model and engine compatibility
• Ceramic and metallic monolith technology with cpsi rating affecting efficiency
• Manufacturing quality using stainless steel and advanced coatings
• Inclusion of assembly parts and warranties

Choosing an OEM-quality catalytic converter guarantees durability, compliance with emission laws, and peace of mind regarding performance.

Selecting the right catalytic converter involves :

• Knowing your exact CLA model, engine size, and production year
• Checking the Euro emission standard your vehicle complies with (Euro 5 or Euro 6)
• Verifying OEM numbers or technical specifications such as length, weight, and pipe diameter
• Ensuring compatibility with your vehicle’s OBD system for optimal monitoring

Consult your vehicle’s manual or contact a professional to confirm these details before choosing a part to account for unusual specificities or policy requirements of installation.
