Citroen Xsara Picasso Catalytic Converter (1999-2012)

A catalytic converter is a key component in the exhaust system of the Citroën Xsara Picasso designed to reduce harmful vehicle emissions. It converts toxic gases from the engine exhaust into less harmful substances by means of chemical reactions. Models vary according to engine type (petrol or diesel), Euro emission standards, production year, engine code, and OBD equipment.

The catalytic converters are tailored to suit specific engines. Some common variants include:

• 2.0 HDi Diesel (DW10TD / RHY) with Euro 2/3/4 standards (1999-2003 production)
• 1.6 16V Petrol/LPG (TU5JP4 / NFU) for Euro 4 standards (2005-2007)
• 1.8 16V Petrol (EW7J4 / 6FZ)
• 1.6i 16V Petrol (TU5JP / NFV) (2000 and onwards)
• Various 1.6 TD HDi Diesel engines with and without DPF filters

Always verify your engine code, production date, and OBD system to ensure the correct fit.

Key technical specifications and features include :

• Manufactured from high-grade stainless steel INOX 409 for durability
• Equipped with advanced honeycomb monoliths coated with rare metals for enhanced efficiency
• Designed either stand-alone or integrated with Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF)
• Approved and certified to meet European E-Mark (E24-103R) standards

All products come with a 3-year warranty covering usage up to 100,000 km.

Authentic catalytic converters can be purchased directly from specialized manufacturers and distributors that comply with European regulations. It is important to choose products certified with E-Mark/CE and TÜV SÜD approvals to guarantee quality and compliance.

• Check compatibility using your vehicle’s VIN or engine code
• Request mounting instructions and certifications from the seller
• Ensure the catalytic converter matches the exact Euro emission standard of your vehicle

Factory direct orders are recommended to obtain the best quality at competitive prices, with delivery options available across Europe.

Prices vary based on engine model, emission standard, and product features, typically ranging from approximately €113 to €349. This includes complete kits with mounting hardware and warranty.

• Lower prices usually correspond to simpler or older emission standards
• More advanced converters including DPF integration are generally higher priced

Always confirm pricing and availability with the supplier before ordering to ensure fit and compliance.

Before purchasing, verify the following :

• Exact engine code and power output
• Year and month of production to match emission norms (Euro 2, 3, or 4)
• Presence and type of OBD system (important for compatibility with emission controls)
• Whether your vehicle requires a catalytic converter with integrated DPF

Contact the seller with your VIN to double-check compatibility and avoid ordering errors.

Catalytic converters serve to drastically reduce harmful exhaust emissions such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons. This helps vehicles comply with environmental standards and contributes to cleaner air quality.

• They improve environmental safety and limit pollution
• Help maintain engine performance and fuel efficiency
• They are legally required in most regions to pass vehicle inspections

Maintaining a properly functioning catalytic converter ensures your vehicle remains roadworthy and environmentally compliant.
