Citroen C3 Pluriel Catalytic Converter (2003-2010)

A catalytic converter is an essential part of the exhaust system in the Citroën C3 Pluriel that reduces harmful emissions by converting toxic gases like carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides into less harmful substances before they are released into the atmosphere. It is designed specifically for each engine type and complies with European emission standards.

Catalytic converters are available for various Citroën C3 Pluriel engine models including:

• 1.4i Petrol engines (code KFV, TU3JP, TU3A) with 73-75 hp, Euro 3 emission standard
• 1.6i Petrol engines (code NFU / TU5JP4) with 109 hp, Euro 3 / 4 standards
• 1.4 HDi Diesel engines (code DV4TD) with 68-70 hp, Euro 4 emission standard

It is important to verify your engine code and year of manufacture to select the correct catalytic converter for your vehicle.

To ensure correct compatibility, please follow these steps:

• Check the engine code on your vehicle's engine block or vehicle registration documents.
• Confirm the production year and exact model variant of your C3 Pluriel.
• Confirm the emission standard compliance (Euro 3 or Euro 4) required by your vehicle.
• Verify the part reference or consult technical data to ensure fitment on the exhaust system position (usually front).

When ordering, provide these details to avoid mistakes in selection.

Key technical specifications include:

• Material: Usually stainless steel (INOX 409) construction for durability.
• Dimensions: For example, 610 mm length for 1.4i petrol models; approx. 405-410 mm for 1.4 HDi diesel models.
• Emission standards compliance: Euro 3 for earlier petrol engines, Euro 4 for later diesel engines.
• Position: Typically installed at the front of the exhaust system.
• Power output compatibility: Calibrated for specific engine powers, e.g., 73-75 hp for 1.4i or 109 hp for 1.6i engines.

Catalytic converters are designed to perfectly match the engine characteristics and emission requirements.

Yes, there are high flow catalytic converters available that enhance the exhaust flow for potential performance improvements while maintaining emission compliance. These are often designed for universal fit or specific vehicle fitment, including the Citroën C3 Pluriel. They aim to balance optimal engine efficiency and reduction of emission pollutants.

Installation should be done carefully ensuring compatibility with your emission system and legal regulations.

To order an original quality catalytic converter:

• Use reputable suppliers that offer products made in Europe with certifications complying with E24-103R and TÜV SÜD standards.
• Look for products built with stainless steel (INOX 409) and high-quality monoliths coated with rare metals for durability and performance.
• Ensure that the supplier provides a warranty (e.g., 3 years or 100,000 km limit) and offers free returns if the product is unused in original packaging within 30 days.
• Check for the availability of technical support and installation guides.
• Select the correct product based on your vehicle’s engine code, year, and emission standard.

Ordering directly from certified manufacturers or their official distributors ensures product reliability and support.

Delivery options typically include:

• Standard delivery within Europe usually takes 1 to 6 working days, often free for orders above a minimum amount.

Catalytic converters usually come with a 3-year warranty limited to 100,000 kilometers usage. Warranty conditions include:

• Proper installation at certified garages following all assembly instructions and replacing necessary gaskets and sensors.
• Use of the vehicle according to manufacturer recommendations, avoiding short journeys which hinder system regeneration.
• Operation only with unleaded petrol for petrol engines equipped originally with catalytic converters.

If an unused catalytic converter in original packaging is returned within 30 days of receipt, free returns are typically accepted within the European zone. Products manufactured to order or used cannot be returned. Warranty repairs are processed at authorized facilities and exclude indirect costs such as vehicle downtime.

Ensure you keep purchase documentation and installation proof for warranty claims.
