Audi Q5 Catalytic Converter 1 (I) (2008-2016)

The Audi Q5 catalytic converter consists of a metal shell that contains a honeycomb-shaped core. The cells of the core are coated with a thin layer of precious metal catalysts including platinum, palladium, and rhodium. These metals accelerate chemical reactions that reduce harmful substances into water, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen. The catalytic converters themselves remain largely unchanged even at the end of their lifecycle.

Different Audi Q5 models have specific catalytic converters. For example:

• Audi Q5 2.0 TFSI Quattro (8R) from 2008 to 2012 with codes OE 8K0254250RX, 8K0131701S, 8K0254253FX, certified Euro 5 and comes with a 24-month warranty.
• Audi Q5 2.0L (2009-2014) with OE numbers 8K0254250FX, 8K0254253HX, compatible with Audi A4 and A5, available in EPA or CARB compliant versions.
• Audi Q5 2.0 TDI Quattro DPF with engine codes CGLA, CGLD, displacement 1968 cc and power 120 kW / 163 hp.

Each catalytic converter is designed to fit the engine type, meet emission standards, and is tested for regulatory compliance.

The price is mainly influenced by:

• The amount of precious metals (platinum, palladium, rhodium) in the catalytic core.
• The market prices of these precious metals based on global supply and demand.
• Market conditions of precious metals used also in medicine and jewelry industries.

Vehicle brand, engine displacement, or power are only indirect factors and have limited impact on pricing.

Quality replacement catalytic converters for Audi Q5 typically have:

• High-grade stainless steel construction resistant to rust and corrosion.
• Ceramic substrates engineered to meet or exceed environmental standards.
• Compliance with EPA or CARB regulations depending on jurisdiction.

These materials ensure durability, performance, and legal compliance for emission control.

Certain US states such as California, New York, Colorado, and Maine require CARB-compliant catalytic converters, which have stricter emission standards than federal EPA regulations. The catalytic converter reduces harmful emissions by converting pollutants like carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides into less harmful substances.

Yes, used Audi Q5 catalytic converters contain valuable precious metals and can be recycled to recover these materials. Services are available to analyze and evaluate your used catalytic converter to offer buy-back rates based on metal content and market prices.

• Used diesel converters prices range approximately from 14 USD to 463 USD per unit.
• Used gasoline converters prices range approximately from 166 USD to 230 USD per unit.

Recycling helps reduce environmental impact and can provide revenue from old parts.
