Nissan Qashqai Catalytic Converter

A catalytic converter in a Nissan Qashqai is an emission control device integrated into the exhaust system. It contains a monolith coated with precious metals like platinum and palladium that reduce harmful gases such as CO, HC, and NOx through chemical reactions, helping your vehicle comply with pollution regulations.

Nissan Qashqai catalytic converters vary by generation and engine model:

• J10 (2007-2013): 2.0L petrol MR20DE engines (141 CV and 140 CV versions), and 1.6i 16V engines.
• J11 (2014+): 1.3 DIG-T HR13DDT engine (160 CV), 1.2 DIG-T 16v H5FT / HRA2DDT / HR12DDT engines compliant with Euro 6 standards.

Always check the exact engine reference, year, and emission standards to select the correct catalytic converter for your vehicle.

Catalytic converters contain precious metals such as platinum, palladium, and rhodium which catalyse the conversion of harmful exhaust gases into less harmful emissions. Their complex honeycomb structure and valuable metal content make them both essential for pollution control and valuable in terms of material worth.

• Reduces toxic emissions (CO, hydrocarbons, NOx).
• Assists in compliance with Euro emission standards (Euro 5, Euro 6).
• Incorporates rare metals that have significant market value.

This combination of environmental importance and precious material content makes catalytic converters a critical component in Nissan Qashqai vehicles.

The price of a Nissan Qashqai catalytic converter varies depending on the model, engine type, and emission standard compliance. Prices generally range from approximately €300 to higher amounts for newer or specific models compliant with Euro 6 standards.

• Front-position catalytic converters for J10 2.0L engines Euro 5 standard are about €310 or more.
• Rear catalytic converters for J11 1.3 DIG-T Euro 6 engines have different pricing due to specifications.
• Prices include certified new products, not refurbished parts.

Ensure to check detailed product references and compatibility before purchase for accurate pricing.

Selecting the correct catalytic converter involves:

• Identifying your vehicle’s model generation (J10 or J11).
• Knowing your engine type and power output (e.g., 1.6i, 2.0L, 1.3 DIG-T).
• Checking emission standards compliance (Euro 5, Euro 6).
• Using original product references or manufacturer-approved part numbers.
• Confirming position in exhaust system (front or rear axle) and exact dimensions if available.

Entering your vehicle identification number (VIN) and engine code when using supplier search tools is recommended to ensure compatibility.

Nissan Qashqai catalytic converters must comply with European regulations, such as:

• Certification by E-Mark or E24-103R for homologation.
• Adherence to emission standards like Euro 5 and Euro 6 depending on vehicle model year.
• Use of certified new parts made with high-grade stainless steel and quality monoliths containing precious metals for maximum effectiveness.

These regulations ensure that the catalytic converter effectively reduces harmful emissions to protect the environment and keep the vehicle legally compliant.
