Kia Picanto Catalytic Converter

A catalytic converter is a vital part of the exhaust system in your Kia Picanto. It reduces harmful gases emitted by the engine by converting them into less harmful substances, helping to comply with environmental standards such as Euro 4 to Euro 6. It typically contains a monolithic structure impregnated with precious metals that facilitate this chemical conversion.

Our catalytic converters fit a wide range of Kia Picanto petrol vehicles from 2004 up to 2023, covering all generations — including 2004-2008, 2008-2011, 2011-2015, 2015-2017, and 2017-2023 models. They cover engines such as 1.0i 12V (G4HE), 1.2 (G4LA), and 1.0i CVVT (G3LA/G3LD) across Euro 4 to Euro 6 standards.

Our product range includes several variants differing by engine code, year, and Euro emission standard. For example:

• 1.0i 12V (G4HE) 2004-2007, Euro 4, approx. 470 mm length, 4.5 kg
• 1.2 1248 cc (G4LA) 2015-2016, Euro 5/6, 350-1325 mm length, 4.7-7 kg
• 1.0i CVVT 12V (G3LA/G3LD) 2016-2020, Euro 6, various dimensions

All are made of stainless steel with high-quality monolithic substrates, fully recyclable, and conforming to ECE/E-Mark European certifications.

Genuine catalytic converters for Kia Picanto can be purchased from specialist suppliers that offer certified and warranty-backed products. Look for suppliers providing:

• New and manufacturer-approved catalytic converters
• Products compliant with Euro emission standards and ECE/E-Mark certification
• Free installation kits with purchase
• Secure payment and professional advice

Ordering from such suppliers ensures your catalytic converter fits correctly, performs efficiently, and meets all regulatory requirements.

Signs that your catalytic converter may require service or replacement include:

• Illumination of the engine management or check engine light
• Reduced engine power or performance
• Unusual exhaust smells or noises
• Poor fuel efficiency or rough engine running

If you observe any of these symptoms, it is important to get a professional diagnostic check on your catalytic converter and related exhaust system components to prevent failure or more expensive repairs.

Selecting the correct catalytic converter requires attention to several important factors:

Ensure the catalytic converter matches these vehicle details:

• Exact engine code (such as G4HE, G4LA, G3LA)
• Year of manufacture and model generation
• Euro emission standard (Euro 4, 5, or 6)
• Position in exhaust system (front/header or rear)

Using the correct, OEM-quality catalytic converter keeps your Kia Picanto in line with emission laws, preserves engine efficiency, and maintains warranty coverage. Installation by a professional mechanic or authorised garage is recommended for best results.

To maintain optimal catalytic converter performance and longevity:

• Use quality fuel that meets manufacturer recommendations
• Avoid frequent short trips which prevent full exhaust heating
• Keep the engine well-tuned to avoid excess emissions or fuel mixture problems
• Consider using exhaust system additivesthat clean harmful deposits
• Address engine warning lights promptly with professional diagnostics

Proper care reduces the risk of clogging, overheating, or damage to the catalytic converter and sensors such as oxygen or lambda sensors.

Our catalytic converters come with a 3-year warranty covering proper use up to 100,000 kilometres. They are manufactured using high-quality stainless steel (INOX 409) with advanced monolith technologies certified by top automotive authorities ensuring:

• Superior or equal technical quality to original equipment
