Ford Ka Catalytic Converter

Catalytic converters for Ford Ka mainly cover the RB generation 3-door models from 1996 to 2008 and later versions up to 2016. They fit petrol engines 1.2, 1.3i, and 1.6i, mostly front-wheel drive with 5-speed manual gearboxes. Variants include the KA Streetka and diesel engines like the 1.3 TDCi (2008-2010).

Key engine and catalytic converter specs include :

• 1.3 i ROCAM (A9A, A9B, etc.): 49 to 70 CV, 1299 cc, Euro 3 to Euro 4 standards, catalytic converter length 380-600 mm, weight approx. 6-7 kg.
• 1.6 i (CDB, CDC, etc.): 95 CV, 1597 cc, Euro 3/4 with OBD, catalytic converters with kits included.
• 1.2 i (169A4): 1.2 L petrol, Euro 5/6 compliant, used 2008-2016.
• 1.3 TDCi diesel: introduced catalytic converters for 2008-2010 models.

Typically, these catalytic converters use ceramic monolith substrates impregnated with precious metals, meet Euro 1 to Euro 4 standards, often include lambda sensors, and require OBD on most post-2000 models.

Compatibility depends on the engine and year :

• 1.3i RB models (2002-2008), Euro 4, with OBD and engine codes like A9A, A9B
• 1.3i older models (1998-2002), Euro 3 with variable OBD availability
• StreetKA 1.6i (2003-2005) includes OBD and catalytic converter kits
• 1.2i models (2008-2016) comply with Euro 5/6 and require OBD
• 1.6i RB (2001-2008), Euro 3/4 compliant with OBD

Always verify OBD system presence before purchase, as catalytic converters are incompatible without it. Emission standards include EEC7 and Stage IV.

Indicative product references (prices include VAT):

• BM91362H: for 1.3i/1.6i engines, approx. 600 mm length, ~221-300 €
• CAK10268: 470 mm, 6.8 kg, approx. 221.50 €
• KAT-G0986: new for 1.3i RBT 70 CV, shipping 4-6 days
• FK-953: 540 mm, Euro 1/2 with mounting fixations

Accessories often include mounting kits, silent-blocs, gaskets, and heat shields.

Catalytic converters contain precious metals such as platinum, palladium, and rhodium within their ceramic monoliths. These metals facilitate chemical reactions that reduce harmful exhaust emissions, making them essential for pollution control, complying with Euro standards. Their material content and compliance function contribute to their value.

Prices vary depending on model, engine size, and Euro standard compliance. Typical prices range from approximately €220 to €300 including VAT for most commonly used models. The price can be influenced by the production technology, precious metal content, and inclusion of installation kits.

• New, high-quality catalytic converters available with 3-year warranty
• Prices can fluctuate due to precious metal market changes and supply

Check for the availability of original or premium aftermarket products to ensure quality and regulatory compliance.

Before buying, verify :

• Your vehicle's exact engine code and model year to ensure compatibility
• OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) system presence for proper sensor functionality
• Compliance with the Euro emission standard applicable to your car
• Whether the catalytic converter includes necessary mounting kits and lambda sensor fittings

Consult your VIN or professional diagnostics to confirm correct reference and installation.
