Ford Orion Catalytic Converter 3 (Iii) (1990-1993)

The Ford Orion Catalytic Converter 3 refers to the catalytic converter system designed for the Ford Orion Mk3 (GAL) model produced between 1990 and 1993. It primarily fits engines with 1.3i, 1.4i, and 1.8 Zeta petrol engines, complying with Euro 2 emissions standards to reduce exhaust pollution effectively.

The catalytic converters are compatible with the following Ford Orion Mk3 engines:

• 1.4 FUH Petrol, 73 HP (1392 cm³)
• 1.4i HL14CFI Petrol, 70 HP (1392 cm³)
• 1.3i BL13CFI Petrol (1.3 L)
• 1.8 Zeta Petrol engines (specific references available)

Each engine type has specific converter dimensions and mounting details, ensuring compatibility with your vehicle's exhaust system.

Key specs vary by engine and include length, weight, and certification:

• Typical length: about 680 mm (varies 680-720 mm by model)
• Weight range: approximately 3 to 4.65 kg
• Emission standard compliance: Euro 2
• Materials: High-quality ceramic substrate with mounting hardware included
• Certificates: CE, E9-103R, E-Mark for specific models

These converters meet or exceed original equipment requirements, ensuring effective exhaust treatment and vehicle compliance with environmental standards.

To ensure the correct fit and performance, consider these points:

• Verify exact engine code, model year, and emission standard compliance
• Check the original OE or equivalent reference codes
• Confirm that the mounting kit and lambda sensor compatibility are included
• Ensure the catalytic converter meets Euro 2 or higher environmental norms
• Respect warranty and manufacturer policies for best experience

Accurate product matching guarantees your vehicle’s exhaust system operates efficiently and pollutant emissions are properly controlled.

Signs of a failing catalytic converter include:

• Illumination of the catalytic converter or check engine warning light on the dashboard
• Reduced engine performance or power loss
• Unusual exhaust smells or increased emissions
• Failed emissions tests during vehicle inspections
• Rattling noises from the exhaust area indicating possible internal damage

If you observe these symptoms, have your exhaust and catalytic converter system inspected and replaced if necessary to maintain vehicle performance and environmental compliance.

Krosfou catalytic converters offer premium quality with these features:

• 3 years WARRANTY covering use up to 100,000 km

• Meet or exceed original equipment and European regulations (e.g., TÜV SÜD certification)
• Full mounting hardware and installation support included
• Direct factory quality with no refurbished parts used

These products provide reliable, long-lasting pollution reduction for your Ford Orion 3 with expert manufacturer backing.

The catalytic converter plays a critical role in the vehicle’s exhaust system by:

• Transforming toxic exhaust gases like carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) into less harmful substances (CO2, water, nitrogen)
• Reducing atmospheric pollution and helping the vehicle meet emission standards
• Working closely with oxygen sensors (lambda sensors) to optimize combustion efficiency
• Enhancing overall engine performance by maintaining proper exhaust gas flow

Proper functioning is vital for compliance with environmental policies and maintaining engine health.

Catalytic converters contain precious metals that can be recovered and recycled. Environmental considerations include:

• Returning old catalytic converters to recycling programmes to recover metals like platinum, palladium, and rhodium
• Complying with local regulations on proper disposal and recycling of automotive parts
• Using manufacturer-backed recycling schemes to reduce waste and environmental impact
• Following responsible recycling efforts helps preserve resources and supports sustainable vehicle maintenance

Always choose original or high-quality catalytic converters to ensure compliance with environmental and vehicle regulations while supporting recycling efforts.
