Volkswagen Eos Catalytic Converter (2006-2015)

The catalytic converter is a crucial part of the Volkswagen Eos exhaust system that transforms toxic gases into less harmful substances. It features a ceramic monolith with a honeycomb structure coated with alumina and precious metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium. It operates through two main chemical processes: reduction of NOx gases and oxidation of unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide. Optimal functioning occurs at around 420°C, which is why the catalytic converter is often mounted close to the engine to reach this temperature quickly.

There are several types of catalytic converters suited for different engine types and emission standards:

• Oxidation Catalysts for diesel engines (two-way converters)
• Three-way Catalysts for gasoline engines
• EOBD Catalysts equipped with sensors for real-time diagnostic
• Catalytic Converter combined with particulate filters for modern diesel vehicles

They can be positioned under the vehicle, adapted to the exhaust manifold, or fully integrated into the manifold depending on heat requirements and emission control needs.

Early indications of catalytic converter issues include:

• Opaque smoke coming from the exhaust
• Metallic noise or strong vibrations under the vehicle
• Loss of engine power during acceleration
• Frequent engine stalling

If you notice these symptoms, it is advisable to have your vehicle inspected and the catalytic converter checked for proper function.

The catalytic converter’s ceramic monolith can be damaged by:

• Use of incorrect mastic that degrades the ceramic over time
• Melting due to excessive fuel causing overheating
• Carbon soot blockage preventing precious metals from working effectively

Proper maintenance and using compatible engine parts can help avoid these issues.

For the Volkswagen Eos 1F7/1F8 2.0 FSI gasoline engine (150 HP), catalytic converters typically cost between €307 and €1,222, depending on the specific model and compliance with emission standards like EPA or CARB.

Catalytic converters provided are brand new, of high quality, and come with a 3-year warranty limited to use not exceeding 100,000 kilometers.

Unused catalytic converters in original condition can be returned free of charge within 30 days under certain conditions. The warranty covers repair at the factory and requires proper installation following manufacturer and service instructions, including replacement of sensors and gaskets.

• No warranty for damages caused by negligence, improper use, or clogged parts
• Warranty claims require technical support form submission and professional installation proof

Check with your service provider or parts supplier for detailed terms.

A flashing catalytic converter warning light usually signals a problem that needs immediate attention. It can indicate issues such as inefficient catalytic converter performance or sensor problems that affect emission control.

• Have the vehicle checked for error codes using a diagnostic scanner
• Verify the catalytic converter and related sensors for faults or damage
• Address any engine or exhaust system issues promptly to restore compliance

Ignoring this light can lead to increased emissions and potential engine damage.
