Dacia Lodgy Catalytic Converter (2012-2022)

The catalytic converter in a Dacia Lodgy is a crucial vehicle component designed to reduce harmful exhaust emissions. It uses a ceramic or metallic substrate coated with rare metals to convert toxic gases from the engine into less harmful emissions to protect the environment and comply with Euro emission standards.

Catalytic converters are primarily available for these Dacia Lodgy engines and model years:

• 1.6 petrol 8V, 83 HP (codes K7M812 / K7M828), model years 04/2012 to 02/2016 (some till 01/2014), Euro 5 standard, with OBD system.
• 1.2 petrol (engine code H5F402) from 03/2012 onward.
• 1.2i TCe 16V, 1197 cc (code H5F408), producing 85 kW / 116 hp.
• 1.6i SCe LPG 16V, 1598 cc, 80 kW / 109 hp, from 08/2018.
• 1.6 SCe 100 16V (code H4M738), 2018 models.

Always check the exact engine code and production year to confirm perfect fitment.

The typical catalytic converter for the Dacia Lodgy 1.6 (K7M812 / K7M828 engine) has these characteristics:

• Length: approx. 360 mm
• Weight: about 4.6 to 4.9 kg
• Emission Level: Euro 5 compliant
• Material: Ceramic substrate with rare metal coating
• Position: Usually front position, often integrated with exhaust manifold or mounting parts
• OBD compliant for onboard diagnostics

This product must be selected carefully by code and model to ensure compatibility and correct functioning.

It is recommended to replace the catalytic converter every 100,000 km under normal vehicle usage to maintain optimal emissions control and vehicle performance. Regular checks and maintenance can also prevent premature failures.

• Confirm type and engine code before replacement
• Replace Lambda sensors simultaneously (recommended after 80,000 to 100,000 km)
• Use copper connections if installing a fitting connection before the catalytic converter

Always have replacements done by qualified garages using original or certified products to maintain performance and warranty.

Yes, there are catalytic converters specially designed for alternative fuel vehicles such as LPG-powered Dacia Lodgy models (e.g., 1.6i SCe LPG 16V). These catalytic converters meet specific technical requirements to ensure compliance with emission standards while running on LPG fuel.

• Ensure compatibility by engine code (e.g., H4M740 for LPG)
• Select well-matched parts to the fuel type
• Use certified products for guaranteed performance and durability

Always confirm the vehicle’s fuel system type before ordering a replacement catalytic converter.

You can select and order authentic, high-performance catalytic converters directly from certified European manufacturers known for compliance to strict standards (such as Krosfou). Official distributors and professional workshops also offer reliable access to these products with guarantees and expert advice.

• Verify product references and vehicle engine codes before purchase
• Choose products with ECE E24-103R certification for legal and durable parts
• Consult suppliers offering professional support and installation guidance

Direct factory delivery options are available with warranties, free returns on unused products within 30 days, and fast shipping across Europe.

The catalytic converter plays an essential role in reducing harmful emissions, helping your Dacia Lodgy meet required Euro emission levels (such as Euro 5). By converting toxic gases like CO, NOx, and hydrocarbons into less harmful substances, it protects both the environment and your vehicle performance.

• Maintains clean exhaust flow according to emission level and engine displacement
• Ensures onboard diagnostics correct any emission faults
• Improves fuel efficiency and power output slightly in some cases

Ignoring catalytic converter issues can lead to emission failures, decreased vehicle power, and potential legal penalties.

To ensure you select the correct catalytic converter replacement for your Dacia Lodgy, follow these steps:

• Check your vehicle documentation for engine code, emission level, and production year
• Confirm the exact model and version of your Dacia Lodgy (e.g., 1.6 8v petrol K7M812 with Euro 5 standard)
• Access professional catalogs or contact authorized suppliers who can verify compatibility by VIN or reference code
• Confirm whether your vehicle uses OBD systems to comply with standards

Krosfou and similar manufacturers provide direct support with technical data, installation manuals, and can assist with personalized advice based on your vehicle details for a smooth replacement process.
