The catalytic converter is an integral part of your Skoda Favorit's exhaust system that reduces harmful emissions. It chemically converts pollutants like carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides into less harmful gases using a high-quality monolith substrate coated with catalyst metals. Proper functioning is vital to pass vehicle inspections and reduce environmental impact.

Problems with the catalytic converter can trigger warning lights and reduce vehicle performance.

Common symptoms of a failing catalytic converter include:

• Illuminated warning light on the dashboard
• Reduced engine power and acceleration
• Unusual rattling noises from underneath the car
• Failed emissions tests or inspection

If you notice any of these signs, have your vehicle checked by a professional to avoid further damage.

To select the appropriate catalytic converter, consider the following:

• Exact model and year of your Skoda Favorit
• Engine size and type (petrol, 1.3 litre, 8V)
• OEM or equivalent reference numbers matching your vehicle
• Emission standards compliance (Euro 2 for these models)

Use your vehicle identification number (VIN) or registration number to confirm compatibility with the supplier. Always choose new, high-quality parts certified in line with vehicle and environmental regulations for best performance and durability.
