Mitsubishi Carisma (1995-2004) Catalytic Converter

The catalytic converter for Mitsubishi Carisma (models DA, DA1A, DA2A, DAO; hatchback or saloon; years 1995-2004) is an essential exhaust component that reduces harmful emissions from your vehicle's engine. It is compatible with petrol engines including 1.3L, 1.6L (90 hp, codes 4G92 SOHC 16V or 4G93), 1.8L GDI, 1.9L, and 2.0L. Available in new or original condition, it supports Euro 1, Euro 2, and Euro 3 emission standards, with options including OBD or non-OBD, and fits front or rear exhaust positions.

The catalytic converter fits multiple Mitsubishi Carisma models produced between 1995 and 2004, including:

• DA1A/DA2A with 1.6L 4G92 engines (from 05/1997 to 09/2000)
• DAO Saloon with engine options 1.3L, 1.6L, 1.8L, 1.9L, and 2.0L
• 1.8 GDI 16V models (e.g., 1999)

For exact fitment, always check compatibility via your vehicle identification number (VIN) or engine code, as specifications can vary depending on production dates and Euro emission norms.

Technical details vary by engine and model but commonly include:

• Length: Typically 410-450 mm, with other sizes between 275 mm and 510 mm depending on model
• Weight: Around 2.8 to 3.9 kg, sometimes up to 7 kg for certain types
• Emission standards: Compliant with Euro 1, Euro 2, Euro 3
• Positioning: Front (exhaust manifold) or rear in the exhaust system
• Transmission compatibility: Works with manual and automatic gearboxes
• References include codes like CAK10176, CL8004T, 26044, 751759, and OEM references like 12200A

Installation should be performed by professionals ensuring the vehicle only runs on unleaded petrol and that oxygen sensors and gaskets are replaced as needed for optimal engine management.

Prices vary depending on condition (new or original), engine compatibility, and Euro standards:

• New parts range approximately from €98 to €685.50
• Common references like CAK10176 are around €120, while some premium OEM parts may cost upwards of €345
• Used or original catalytic converters are available through specific channels, prices vary by availability and market

Additional costs may include delivery and installation. Some suppliers offer free delivery above certain order amounts and return policies for unused products.

Catalytic converters are valuable because they contain precious metals such as platinum, palladium, and rhodium which facilitate the chemical reactions that reduce harmful emissions in the exhaust gases. These metals make catalytic converters essential for environmental protection and also a target for recycling and reuse.

Additionally, the catalytic converter is a critical component in engine management systems, ensuring compliance with emission regulations and maintaining vehicle performance.

Yes, it is highly recommended to replace the oxygen sensor when changing the catalytic converter. The oxygen sensor plays a key role in engine management and emissions control by monitoring the exhaust gases.

• Replacing the oxygen sensor ensures accurate readings for engine control unit (ECU)
• Helps maintain optimal air-fuel mixture
• Prevents warning lights and emission failures

Generally, oxygen sensors should be replaced after 80,000 to 100,000 km as part of proper maintenance along with the catalytic converter replacement.
