Citroen C-Elysee Catalytic Converter

The catalytic converter in the Citroën C-Elysée, produced since 2012, is an essential automotive component fitted at the front of the exhaust system. It reduces harmful emissions from petrol and diesel engines (such as 1.2 VTi, 1.6 VTi gasoline, and 1.6 HDi diesel engines) to meet Euro 5 or Euro 6 environmental standards. Made from durable materials like ceramic or stainless steel, it helps the car comply with emission regulations and needs replacement roughly every 100,000 km for optimal performance.

Catalytic converters for Citroën C-Elysée vary by engine type, year, emission standard, and transmission. Key compatibilities include:

• 1.6 VTi petrol engines (115/116 hp) from around 2015-2016, meeting Euro 5 or Euro 6 standards.
• 1.2 VTi petrol engines (72/82 hp) from 2012 with Euro 5 or Euro 6 compliance.
• 1.6 HDi diesel engines (92 hp), mostly Euro 5 emission standard.

Always verify the engine code, emission standard, and vehicle specifications such as OBD equipment before choosing a catalytic converter to ensure perfect fit and function.

Krosfou manufactures catalytic converters using high-grade materials and advanced technology:

• Stainless steel INOX 409 construction for high durability and corrosion resistance.
• High-quality ceramic monoliths coated with rare metals for superior emission reduction and performance.
• Certified by TÜV SÜD Automotive GmbH Munich, meeting or exceeding European ECE/EG standards (e.g., E24-103R).
• Compliant with Euro 5 and Euro 6 emission regulations.

These ensure reliable, long-lasting performance while contributing to significant pollution reduction.

To select the correct catalytic converter, consider the following factors carefully:

• Engine code and power (e.g., EC5 for 1.6 VTi petrol engines).
• Year of manufacture and emission standard (Euro 5 or Euro 6).
• Type of fuel (petrol VTi or diesel HDi) and transmission (manual or automatic).
• OBD equipment and sensors compatibility, including Lambda sensor replacement when applicable.
• Physical dimensions and fitting position (generally front fitting position).

Consult product references carefully and confirm compatibility to ensure proper installation and optimal exhaust performance.

The price of a catalytic converter for Citroën C-Elysée varies generally between €281 and €530 including VAT, depending on model, reference, and material. Pricing excludes shipping fees. Delivery options include:

• Standard delivery within Europe: 1 to 6 working days, often free for orders above a certain threshold.
• Express delivery within Europe: 24 to 48 hours, with additional carrier charges.
• International shipping: varies, with economy and express airfreight options.
• Order processing times are typically same-day shipment for in-stock items ordered before noon, with quick manufacture for out-of-stock parts.

Check product pages for exact price and delivery time information, and consider express options for urgent needs.

Krosfou catalytic converters come with a 3-year warranty limited to a maximum of 100,000 kilometers. Warranty conditions include:

• Installation by a professional garage specializing in exhaust system replacement.
• Proper replacement of gaskets, sensors, and injectors during installation.
• Adherence to manufacturer and vehicle maintenance instructions (e.g., regular oil changes, ignition system care).
• Use of the correct fuel type and compatible engine displacement.

Unused, original-condition parts can be returned free of charge within 30 days in most European countries. Returns require prior agreement with technical support and proper packaging.

Catalytic converters are valuable because they significantly reduce harmful exhaust emissions such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides. This helps vehicles comply with environmental regulations, reduces air pollution, and protects public health. Additionally, a well-functioning catalytic converter optimizes engine performance and fuel efficiency, potentially adding slight horsepower while minimizing exhaust odors.

• Reduce toxic emissions in petrol and diesel engines.
• Ensure compliance with Euro 5 and Euro 6 standards.
• Improve overall vehicle exhaust performance.
• Contribute to environmental protection and clean air.

Maintaining or replacing the catalytic converter as recommended is essential for reliable car operation and legal compliance.

To ensure durable and efficient operation of the catalytic converter in your Citroën C-Elysée, follow these tips:

• Replace the catalytic converter approximately every 100,000 km or as recommended by vehicle diagnostics.
• Always replace the Lambda sensor jointly with the catalytic converter after around 80,000 to 100,000 km to maintain accurate exhaust control.
• Use unleaded petrol exclusively for petrol engines to protect the catalytic converter.
• Inspect and maintain exhaust system tightness and copper connections if any are installed before the converter.
• Avoid short trips that prevent full engine operating temperature, which can impair passive regeneration and reduce converter lifespan.
• Follow the vehicle manufacturer's maintenance schedule diligently.

Proper installation and use will maximize converter life and effectiveness in reducing emissions and sustaining engine performance.
