Kia Soul Catalytic Converter 1 (I) (2008-2014)

The catalytic converter in the Kia Soul 1 (first generation, AM code) is an essential emission control device designed to reduce harmful gases like CO, NOx, and hydrocarbons produced by the 1.6 petrol (CVVT or Flex) and 1.6 CRDi diesel engines. These converters comply with Euro 4 or Euro 5 emission standards depending on the specific model and year.

The catalytic converters fit the following engines:

• 1.6 CVVT Petrol Engine (G4FC motor code) – 126 HP, Euro 5, used since February 2010
• 1.6 Flex Petrol/Ethanol – 128 HP
• 1.6 CRDi Diesel – 126 HP, with or without DPF, used 2009 to 2014

These converters are usually collector types and many are designed to directly fit or as universal replacements for the Kia Soul 1 exhaust system.

There are various options depending on engine and configuration:

• Euro 5 compliant converters for 1.6 CVVT Petrol (ref: Kat-G1026 or equivalents)
• Specific converters for 1.6 Flex Petrol engines
• Diesel CRDi converters, with or without integrated DPF
• Universal rectangular converters compatible with Euro 4 standards

All products are designed to meet EPA and federal emission standards where applicable and include options with direct-fit installation features.

To select the correct catalytic converter fit for your vehicle, you should:

• Check the exact engine code (e.g., G4FC or G4FD)
• Confirm the model year and emission standard compliance (Euro 4 or 5)
• Verify whether your vehicle has a DPF (diesel particulate filter)
• Match the oxygen sensor (lambda sensor) type and position

Ensuring these match avoids compatibility and installation issues, guaranteeing proper engine performance and emission compliance.

Yes, universal catalytic converters are available and can fit certain Kia Soul 1 exhaust systems, especially for Euro 4 vehicles. However, universal models:

• Do not always include sensors
• May require additional installation adjustments or accessories
• Might differ in dimensions such as inlet and outlet diameter

It is recommended to verify compatibility with your vehicle’s exhaust setup and consult technical details before purchase.
