Renault Captur Catalytic Converter 1 (I) (2013-2019)

A catalytic converter is an essential exhaust component installed in the Renault Captur 1’s exhaust system to reduce harmful emissions. It converts toxic gases produced by the engine into less harmful substances before releasing them into the atmosphere. For the Captur 1 (Phase 1, 2013-2019), catalytic converters are designed specifically for petrol engines like the 0.9 TCe 90 hp, 1.2 TCe 120 hp, and the later 1.0 TCe engines, compliant with Euro 5 and Euro 6 emission standards.

On the Renault Captur 1, the catalytic converter is positioned at the front of the exhaust system, close to the engine. This placement ensures efficient heating of the catalytic material for optimal conversion of exhaust gases, improving the vehicle's emission control system and enabling accurate oxygen sensor diagnostics.

Specifications vary based on engine type as follows:

• 0.9 TCe 90 hp (H4B engine): Euro 5 (up to 2015) or Euro 6 (from 04/2015), length 360-480 mm, weight 2.8-4.2 kg, ceramic material, OEM reference examples include 208A07241R.
• 1.2 TCe 120 hp (H5F engine): Euro 5 or Euro 6 compliant, length approximately 480 mm, weight around 4.2 kg, compatible with specific exhaust pipes.
• 1.0 TCe petrol: Various OE references including 208A000QAW, also compatible with aftermarket options.

All parts are engineered to meet strict emission norms and feature integrated assembly components.

Catalytic converters are valuable because they:

• Ensure your car meets legal emission standards, preventing harmful pollutants from entering the air.
• Help maintain engine efficiency by enabling effective exhaust gas treatment and oxygen sensing.
• Are constructed from precious metals within the monolith, making them technically and economically valuable.

Proper function is vital to passing vehicle inspections and maintaining performance.

The price for a new catalytic converter for Renault Captur 1 models generally ranges from around €350 to over €700 depending on the engine type and compliance with Euro 5 or Euro 6 standards. Prices include VAT and cover high-quality new parts manufactured to strict European regulations. Specific prices should be checked for your exact engine code and vehicle year.

To ensure compatibility, you should check:

• Your vehicle's engine code (e.g., H4B, H5F).
• The Euro emission standard your vehicle complies with (Euro 5 or Euro 6).
• The original equipment (OE) reference number of your catalytic converter if available.
• Physical dimensions such as length and connection types to fit the exhaust system.

Using your vehicle identification number (VIN) or consulting a trusted parts catalog can help verify correct fitment before purchase.

The catalytic converter works in conjunction with the oxygen sensor (lambda sensor) placed upstream and downstream in the exhaust system. The sensor monitors oxygen levels in the exhaust gases, allowing the vehicle's on-board diagnostic (OBD) system to regulate fuel mixture and detect catalytic converter efficiency. This ensures emissions are controlled effectively and that any faults can be quickly identified to protect the environment.

Legal installation or replacement of catalytic converters requires:

• The part must comply with European emission regulations (e.g., Euro 5 or Euro 6) and have proper certification such as E24-103R approval.
• The catalytic converter must be designed for your specific Renault Captur 1 engine and model year.
• The use of genuine new parts is recommended, as reconditioned or non-compliant units are illegal and do not pass emissions tests.

Always verify exact compatibility and certification before purchasing and installing a catalytic converter to ensure your car remains road-legal and environmentally compliant.
