Seat Arosa Catalytic Converter (1997-2004)

The Seat Arosa catalytic converter is an essential part of the vehicle's exhaust system. It reduces harmful pollutants in exhaust gases by utilizing precious metals such as platinum, rhodium, or palladium. This device converts carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) into less harmful substances via an oxidation-reduction chemical process, helping to meet emission standards and protect the environment.

Compatibility varies by engine model and production years:

• Seat Arosa 1.4i 16v (6H) with AUB engine (100 hp, Euro 4), produced from 09/2000 to 05/2003.
• Seat Arosa 6H 1.4 (60 hp, Petrol AKV), from 07/1999 to 05/2002, manual transmission.
• Seat Arosa 6H 1.0 (50 hp, Petrol AER or AHT), recommended replacement every 100,000 km.

Always verify compatibility for your engine and Euronorm standard before purchasing to ensure proper fit and performance.

New Seat Arosa catalytic converters for petrol engines typically range between €71 and €373 depending on the model and type (ceramic or petrol compatibility).

• Secondhand catalytic converters have scrap values from approximately 18 to 238 USD.
• Ceramic types generally have a higher scrap value due to precious metals inside.

Consider comparing purchase prices with scrap value for possible economic benefits, as recycling catalytic converters is increasingly profitable.

The catalytic converter consists of a ceramic honeycomb monolith coated with alumina and precious metals such as platinum and rhodium or palladium in a typical ratio of 5:1. It is designed to operate within a specific temperature range and housed in a stainless steel casing with elastic insulation to withstand heat and vibrations.

• It performs oxidation-reduction reactions to neutralize pollutants CO, HC, and NOx.
• Its compact design improves vehicle safety and performance compared to older models.

Proper maintenance and timely replacement every 100,000 km ensure optimal functioning and avoid engine issues.

Replacement is generally recommended every 100,000 kilometers. If the warning light on your dashboard starts flashing, immediate diagnostic inspection is advisable to avoid potential engine damage.

• Proper diagnostics help identify issues such as sensor failure or catalyst degradation.
• Always replace the Lambda sensor simultaneously when replacing the catalytic converter, typically after 80,000 to 100,000 km.

Regular maintenance ensures compliance with emissions standards and vehicle performance.
