Mini Clubman Catalytic Converter R55 (2007-2015)

The Mini Clubman R55 catalytic converter is an essential automotive emission control component designed specifically for the Mini Clubman model produced between 2006 and 2014. It reduces harmful exhaust emissions by converting toxic gases into less harmful substances before they leave the vehicle's exhaust system.

The catalytic converter applies to several engine variants of the Mini Clubman R55 including:

• Cooper 1.6L (120 hp) N12B16 engine (10/2006-07/2010)
• Cooper 1.6L (122 hp) later Cooper standard engine variant
• Cooper S Clubman 1.6i Turbo (175-184 hp) models from 2007 to 2014
• Cooper S Clubman 1.6 16v Turbo LCI (174 PS / 128 kW) from 2009/11 to 2010/07
• Diesel 1.6D engine (1560 cc capacity)

Each catalytic converter is designed to fit specific engine types and production years for optimal emission control and vehicle performance.

Mini Clubman R55 catalytic converters are certified to meet Euro 4 emission standards and above, ensuring compliance with strict European environmental regulations. Note that some units may not be compatible with the specific Euro 4 D4 standard.

• Compliance with emission regulations helps reduce harmful pollutant outputs
• Maintains vehicle’s environmental performance and legal operation

Choosing a type-approved catalytic converter is important for vehicle compliance with local laws and regulations.

Multiple specialized manufacturers produce catalytic converters suitable for Mini Clubman R55 models. These include options in OEM quality, ceramic and metallic construction types. Typical suppliers include:

• High-quality OEM type converters with proven durability and performance
• Ceramic catalytic converter options noted for efficient filtering

Please select reputable and certified catalytic converters to ensure quality, durability, and compliance.

Replacing the catalytic converter on a Mini Clubman R55 involves several technical steps:

• Remove mounting bolts (usually 11mm) from under the vehicle
• Disconnect the lower oxygen sensor
• Remove the engine support bracket if necessary
• Push engine rearwards using a jack for better access due to tight space near the air conditioning compressor and radiator
• Install the new catalytic converter ensuring secure thread quality and sensor positioning

Due to the complexity and restricted access, professional installation is recommended to ensure safety and proper function.

Catalytic converters are valuable because they contain precious metals such as platinum, palladium, and rhodium which catalyze the conversion of toxic exhaust gases into less harmful substances. This not only helps vehicles meet emission regulations but also reduces environmental pollution significantly.

• Reduce toxic emissions like carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides
• Help maintain air quality and public health
• Components are recyclable and reusable in the automotive industry

Their material value and regulatory importance make catalytic converters both essential and valuable parts of vehicle exhaust systems.

The cost of a Mini Clubman R55 catalytic converter varies widely depending on quality, certification, and manufacturer. Entry-level options may start around $139, with OEM certified and high-performance converters priced higher.
