Citroen C6 Catalytic Converter (2005-2012)

The catalytic converter in the Citroën C6 (models 2005-2012) is a crucial part of the exhaust system designed to reduce harmful emissions. It meets Euro 3 to Euro 6 emission standards depending on the engine, mainly installed on diesel HDi engines like the 2.7 HDi UHZ/DT17TED4 and petrol engines like the ES9A. Positioned typically before the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) in diesel versions, it helps convert toxic exhaust gases into less harmful substances.

Specifications vary by model and engine type. For the 2.7 HDi engine, the converter length ranges from 330 to 1050 mm, weighing between 3.4 and 5.9 kg. It complies with Euro 4, 5, and 6 standards and is positioned at the rear, before the DPF. Petrol ES9A engines include precatalysts, oxygen sensors, resonators, and main catalytic converters along with silencers and clips. Compatibility extends across related PSA models.

• Length: 330-1050 mm (diesel)
• Weight: 3.4-5.9 kg (diesel)
• Emission Standards: Euro 4 / 5 / 6
• Positioning: Rear before DPF (diesel), front/rear precatalyst (petrol)

To select the correct catalytic converter, check your vehicle’s model, engine type, and emission standard compliance. Enter your VIN or original reference number to ensure product compatibility. Consider the part dimensions and weight as specified for your engine type. Always choose parts meeting manufacturer specifications and Euro emission regulations.

• Verify engine code (e.g., UHZ 2.7 HDi or ES9A petrol)
• Check emission standard (Euro 4 to Euro 6)
• Use manufacturer or authorized product reference
• Consult professional service for precise fit and installation

Selecting the right product reduces harmful emissions and ensures engine performance remains optimal.

The price for a new OE-quality catalytic converter for Citroën C6 ranges from approximately €43 to €554, with the average between €183 and €273 depending on specifications such as size and weight. Pricing depends also on emission compliance and manufacturer references.

Installation requires careful handling to avoid damage, especially of the flexible pipe sections which must be protected from shocks or corrosive substances. The exhaust line often needs partial dismantling to allow access for replacement. Torque settings for clamps and sensors are specific and should be followed strictly to avoid leaks.

• Protect flexible pipes against mechanical and chemical damage
• Follow torque tightening specifications (e.g., 4.7 Nm, 3.5 Nm)
• Remove exhaust components carefully following OEM instructions
• Replace related sensors simultaneously for optimal function

Regular checkups help detect catalytic converter faults early, indicated by warning lights or reduced performance.

Common symptoms of catalytic converter failure include illuminated or flashing dashboard warning lights related to emissions systems. This might indicate serious issues that require prompt check and replacement if necessary.

Signs to check for include:

• Warning light indicating catalytic converter fault
• Reduced engine performance and increased fuel consumption
• Poor emission test results or failed inspections
• Unusual exhaust smells or noises

Immediate attention reduces the risk of further damage and helps maintain compliance with emissions regulations.
