Skoda Citigo Catalytic Converter (2011-2019)

The catalytic converter in a Skoda Citigo is a crucial exhaust system component that reduces harmful emissions by converting toxic gases into less harmful substances. It is specifically designed for petrol engines, mainly 1.0 12V models produced between 2011 and 2019, complying with Euro 5 and Euro 6 standards.

Compatible catalytic converters are available for these main Skoda Citigo engine types:

• 1.0 12V, 60 hp (CHYA engine, 2011-2015)
• 1.0 12V, 68 hp (CP and CPGA engines, including CNG versions, 2012-2019)
• 1.0 12V, 75 hp (CHYB engine, Euro 6 compliant)

These converters also fit related models like Seat Mii and VW up! due to platform sharing.

Key technical specifications include:

• Typical length: 780 mm
• Weight: approximately 3.7 kg
• Material: ceramic monolith impregnated with precious metals like platinum, palladium, and rhodium
• Certification: Euro 6 compliant, E-Mark approved (E9-103R)
• Includes necessary mounting kits and corresponds to original equipment references like 1S0253053CX

These high-quality components ensure efficient exhaust gas treatment and durability.

Catalytic converters contain precious metals such as platinum, palladium, and rhodium, which act as catalysts for the chemical conversion of exhaust gases. These metals are valuable due to their rarity and effectiveness in reducing pollution. Additionally, catalytic converters are essential for meeting legal emission standards and maintaining vehicle compliance.

Prices for Skoda Citigo catalytic converters vary depending on the model and reference, typically ranging from around 240 € up to 820 € including tax and mounting kits. Prices also include delivery service, with options for express shipping available.

After installation, the vehicle’s on-board computer should be reset and any error codes cleared, especially those related to pollution warnings. A professional exhaust system check including the 4-gas test is recommended to ensure proper functioning. Maintenance includes periodic checks of sensors and avoiding damage or clogging to keep the catalytic converter effective.

• Reset engine control unit post-installation
• Clear pollution warning indicators
• Conduct professional exhaust gas analysis (4-gas check)
• Use authorized service centres for replacement to maintain warranty

Do not attempt to disable or bypass the catalytic converter as it is illegal and affects vehicle emissions.

Replacing a catalytic converter involves handling the exhaust pipe and sensors carefully to avoid damage. It requires specific tools and technical knowledge to ensure correct fitment, sensor positioning, and to reset vehicle systems properly.

• Ensure compatibility by checking car engine and reference numbers
• Follow safety procedures due to hot exhaust components
• Reset engine management system after replacement
• Consider professional installation to guarantee warranty and compliance

Incorrect installation may trigger fault codes and impair exhaust and engine function.

To find the correct catalytic converter and spare parts for your Skoda Citigo, use your vehicle identification number (VIN) or engine reference. This ensures the right match for exhaust and sensor compatibility.

• Check your owner’s manual or service documentation for reference numbers
• Contact official or specialised retailers with your car’s VIN for accurate identification
• Look for OE references such as 1S0253053CX or similar manufacturer codes
• Always verify part compatibility before purchase

Delivery options typically include standard and express shipping to suit your service needs and stock availability.

Using genuine solutions helps maintain your car’s fuel efficiency and emission controls in line with manufacturer standards.
