Peugeot Partner Catalytic Converter

The catalytic converter is a key component of the exhaust system in your Peugeot Partner. It transforms harmful exhaust gases into less polluting emissions through a chemical process called catalysis. For optimal efficiency, the catalytic converter requires a temperature above 400 degrees Celsius, so it may be less effective during cold starts or short trips.

The internal structure of the catalytic converter contains microparticles of precious metals such as platinum and palladium. These metals are embedded in a ceramic matrix, which provides the ideal environment for the chemical reactions that reduce emissions.

The catalytic converter filters exhaust gases through multiple chemical reactions. For petrol engines in the Peugeot Partner, it performs three main transformations:

• Converts nitrogen oxides into carbon dioxide
• Converts carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide
• Converts unburnt hydrocarbons into water vapor and carbon dioxide

For diesel engines, the catalytic converter primarily converts carbon monoxide and unburnt hydrocarbons, while carbon dioxide processing is handled by the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).

Signs that your catalytic converter may require replacement include:

• Engine warning light illuminated on the dashboard
• Noticeable loss of power, possibly with the vehicle entering a limp mode
• Jerky or uneven driving experience
• Characteristic rotten egg smell from the exhaust
• Increased fuel consumption
• Unusual popping sounds and possible ceramic debris from the exhaust

Replacing the catalytic converter is a feasible task for many vehicle owners. There are illustrated manuals and step-by-step video tutorials available online specifically for the Peugeot Partner catalytic converter replacement. For example, a tutorial video shows how to replace a faulty catalytic converter on a Peugeot 2008 petrol engine, where symptoms included an engine light and power loss. After removal, the catalytic converter was found to be cracked and no longer effective.

Yes, specific catalytic converter models and references exist for different Peugeot Partner variants including:

• Peugeot Partner Tepee 1.6 HDi with reference KF-48008
• Peugeot Partner K9 with NAP carparts reference CAD10628
• Peugeot Partner 1.6 HDi (B9) compliant with UNECE Regulation No. 103

Prices vary based on model and supplier.

Modern Peugeot Partner vehicles usually have two catalytic converters :

• The pre-catalytic converter located between the exhaust manifold and the main pipe, which pre-filters the gases
• The main catalytic converter that completes the emission reduction process
