Peugeot 807 Catalytic Converter (2002-2014)

The catalytic converter on a Peugeot 807, especially with diesel engines like the 2.2 HDi (E), is a crucial exhaust component that transforms harmful gases into less polluting substances through a high-temperature chemical reaction. It contains a ceramic honeycomb structure coated with precious metals (platinum, palladium, rhodium) that catalyze oxidation of hydrocarbons, reduction of carbon monoxide (CO) to CO2, and neutralization of nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and oxygen. It becomes effective only after warming up, about 30 seconds after a cold start.

Catalytic converters for Peugeot 807 mainly fit the 2.2 HDi (E) diesel models compliant with Euro 3 exhaust standards. Other variants compatible include HDi 130/128 diesel engines, sometimes paired with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) that traps solid particles from the exhaust gases.

There are established references for replacement catalytic converters for the Peugeot 807 2.2 HDi (E) model, meeting Euro 3 emissions norms. These include:

• Reference 090-132
• Reference CI6062
• Reference 20922

These references correspond to quality products designed for this specific vehicle model and engine type.

Yes, replacing the catalytic converter is possible as a DIY task for experienced persons. On models similar to the Peugeot 807, like the Peugeot 208, the job can be done in about 30 minutes. The procedure involves:

• Disconnecting the lambda sensors before and after the catalytic converter
• Loosening or removing exhaust clamps and fixing bolts (usually 4)
• Removing the old catalytic converter along with any metal collars and gaskets
• Installing the new catalytic converter using new or reusable joints
• Reconnecting sensors and clearing any On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) fault codes to turn off the engine warning light

Always work with the vehicle safely supported, disconnect the battery, and replace worn seals to ensure a proper fit and function.

Signs of catalytic converter problems include:

• Engine warning light illuminated on the dashboard
• Reduced engine power or performance issues
• Unusual or strong exhaust odors, particularly from unburned diesel
• Increased pollutant emissions detected during emissions testing

Early diagnosis and maintenance can prevent further engine damage and ensure compliance with environmental regulations.

Proper maintenance includes:

• Allowing the engine to warm up properly, as catalytic converters need about 30 seconds after a cold start to operate effectively
• Avoiding aggressive accelerations, especially when the engine is cold
• Regular engine servicing to ensure the combustion process runs efficiently avoiding excess hydrocarbons and CO emissions
• For diesel engines with DPFs, periodic cleaning and regeneration of the filter and catalytic converter help in reducing particle buildup

Good driving habits and timely repairs contribute to the catalytic converter’s optimal performance and longevity.

Catalytic converters contain precious metals such as palladium, platinum, and rhodium, which have high market value. Palladium, in particular, is more expensive than platinum. This makes catalytic converters attractive targets for thieves looking to sell the metals for scrap, leading to frequent thefts on vehicles like the Peugeot 807.

• Precious metal content makes them valuable for recycling
• Their location under the vehicle allows relatively easy removal
• Replacement costs are significant, adding incentive for illegal resale

Vehicle owners should consider protective measures to reduce theft risk.
