Volkswagen Passat Catalytic Converter

A catalytic converter is an essential part of the exhaust system in your Volkswagen Passat. It reduces harmful emissions by converting toxic gases produced during combustion into less harmful substances through a chemical reaction. It typically contains a ceramic honeycomb coated with catalytic materials that accelerate these reactions, helping your vehicle meet federal emission standards.

Krosfou catalytic converters are manufactured to fit a wide range of Volkswagen Passat models from 1980 to 2024, including diesel (TDI) and petrol (TSI) engines. They cover many generations such as B5, B6, B8, and more, complying with Euro 2 to Euro 5 emission standards.

• Passat B8 (3G2, CB2) 2.0 TSI petrol, 220 hp
• Passat B6 (3C2) 1.9 TDI diesel, 105 hp
• Passat B5 (3B3) 1.9 TDI diesel, 130 hp
• Other models with 1.6 to 2.0 TDI diesel and petrol engines

Ensure to select the correct product based on engine code, model year, and emission norms for exact fitment.

Selecting the correct catalytic converter depends on several factors:

• Vehicle model and year
• Engine type and power output
• Emission norm compliance (e.g., Euro 3, Euro 4, Euro 5)
• Dimensions and weight of the existing assembly
• Presence of DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) for diesel variants

Matching these ensures the converter fits properly and functions according to federal and European regulations.
