These catalytic converters consist of a ceramic or metallic monolith substrate coated with precious metals like platinum, palladium, and rhodium. They reduce harmful exhaust emissions by catalyzing chemical reactions that convert toxic gases such as CO, NOx, and hydrocarbons into less harmful substances.

• High-grade ceramics or stainless-steel INOX 409 construction for durability
• Euro 2 compliant coatings for emission reduction
• Designed specifically for petrol engines 1.3i to 1.6i

This technology ensures compliance with environmental regulations while maintaining engine performance.

The serial number is usually engraved on the body or flanges of the catalytic converter. You can also consult your vehicle’s owner manual for exact location. For scrap or resale value, online platforms allow searching by brand, model, and serial code to get real-time pricing based on precious metal content.

• Visual inspection on the converter’s surface
• Reference your vehicle manual for aid
• Use dedicated online tools for scrap valuation

Proper identification is important for compatibility and market pricing.
