Exhaust Citroen Xsara Picasso (1999-2012)

The exhaust system of the Citroën Xsara Picasso consists of flexible exhaust pipes, rear and intermediate silencers, exhaust pots, catalytic converters, and complete exhaust lines. These parts are designed for various petrol and diesel engines including the 1.8 16V 115 HP petrol and 1.6 HDi and 2.0 HDi diesel variants.

Flexible exhaust pipes help reduce noise and vibrations while absorbing heat between the engine, silencers, or catalytic converter. They come in different diameters and lengths such as:

• 35 mm diameter with lengths of 100 mm, 200 mm, 250 mm
• 45 mm diameter with lengths of 100 mm, 200 mm, 300 mm
• 55 mm diameter with lengths of 200 mm, 300 mm

Each size is matched to engine specifications and can be sourced based on your vehicle’s requirements.

The available silencers and exhaust pots vary by engine type and include rear, intermediate, and sport/universal types for various engine outputs:

• 2.0 HDi Diesel with 90 HP featuring direct injection and 1997 cc displacement
• 1.6 HDi Diesel with 109 HP (2004-2011) without DPF, specific length and weight details
• 1.8 16V Petrol with 115 HP (2000-2005) with specific intermediate silencers

Proper selection ensures exhaust system efficiency and compliance with vehicle standards.

Yes, full exhaust lines inclusive of catalytic converters and silencers are available for engines like the 2.0 HDi (years 2000-2002) and 1.8 16V petrol variants. Catalytic converters meet Euro 4 standards for petrol and diesel engines, with specifications ensuring compatibility and durability.

• 2.0 HDi complete line: 4 kg weight, 1050 mm length
• Universal Euro 4 catalytic converter (entry size 48 mm x 400 mm)
• Aluminized steel complete line for 1.8 16V with 30 months warranty

These parts ensure that the exhaust system meets regulatory emission standards while maintaining vehicle performance.

The rear silencer typically requires replacement between 60,000 and 130,000 kilometers. This is often needed to pass vehicle inspection due to potential non-compliance of the exhaust system, ensuring your car meets noise and emission regulations effectively.

Maintaining your vehicle's exhaust system includes replacing worn parts such as silencers and catalytic converters as needed. If your exhaust heat shield is loose or damaged, it should be fixed promptly to avoid floor damage or safety hazards.

Tutorial resources are available that guide the replacement of the entire exhaust line on the Xsara Picasso, ensuring proper function and compliance with technical controls.

• Check for vibration or unusual noise from the exhaust system
• Replace gaskets, sensors, and silent blocks during exhaust service
• Ensure proper installation by certified technicians

Proper maintenance guarantees system longevity and vehicle safety.

In addition to exhaust pipes and silencers, related components include:

• Lambda sensors (NOx sensors) to monitor emissions
• EGR valves to recirculate exhaust gases
• Seals, fasteners, and rubber silent-blocks for vibration damping
• Thermal protection covers to shield surrounding vehicle parts

These components ensure the exhaust system operates efficiently, reduces emissions, and protects vehicle parts.

For original, high-quality replacement parts that comply with manufacturer specifications and European standards, purchase directly from authorized suppliers offering new parts with warranties and technical support. Choose parts with confirmed vehicle and engine compatibility by referencing your vehicle’s engine code and year.

Always entrust installation and modifications to professional workshops to ensure proper fitment, maintain the heat shield and floor safety, and comply with environmental and inspection regulations.
