Ford B-Max Catalytic Converter (2012-2017)

The catalytic converter for the Ford B-Max is an essential vehicle item that reduces harmful emissions from the exhaust system. It converts pollutants from petrol engines, such as the EcoBoost 1.0L and 1.4/1.6L engines, to comply with Euro 5 and Euro 6 emission standards. This product is designed specifically for Ford B-Max models produced from 2012 to 2016, ensuring optimal engine performance and reduced environmental impact.

Compatible engines include:

• 1.0 EcoBoost petrol engine variants with 100, 120, and 125 horsepower (codes: SFJC, SFJA, SFJB, SFJD, YYJC, M1JA, M1JE, C10FD0X, M1JH)
• 1.4 petrol engine (90 hp, codes SPJD, SPJE)
• 1.6 petrol engine IQJA manifold catalytic converter (from October 2012 onward)

Always verify engine code and Euro emission norm compatibility before purchase.

Typical specifications include:

• Length: 570 to 770 mm depending on model
• Weight: approximately 4 to 4.8 kg
• Positioned at the front (front part of exhaust)
• Type: ceramic or metallic micro monolith substrates
• OBD sensor fittings on some types

These dimensions and features ensure proper fit and function with Ford B-Max engines.

Ford OE numbers for 1.0 EcoBoost 125 hp converters include 1944450, CV21-5E211-AH, and 1875450. Popular aftermarket equivalents have certifications like ECE/ABE and E-mark. Using these references can help you select the exact converter product required for your vehicle model and engine type.

Krosfou catalytic converters provide several benefits:

• High-quality, durable stainless steel (INOX 409) construction
• Advanced honeycomb monoliths with rare metal coating for excellent emission reduction
• Certified performance with TÜV SÜD certification, equal or superior to original parts
• Plug-and-play installation, fully homologated for European use without additional controls
• 24-month warranty and factory direct pricing advantages
• Fast shipping across Europe with free returns within 30 days (conditions apply)

These features ensure long-lasting vehicle performance and environmental compliance.

It is important to verify your vehicle’s engine code, fuel type, and Euro emission standard before purchase. Contact technical support with your VIN or original Ford reference number to confirm exact model compatibility and sensor fittings. This helps avoid incorrect item selection and ensures the converter fits and functions correctly.

• Check engine and emission standard (Euro 5 or Euro 6)
• Confirm OE or aftermarket reference numbers
• Review product descriptions and installation guides
• Contact vendors for technical advice when needed

Proper selection maximizes converter performance and vehicle compliance.

Common signs of catalytic converter issues include:

• Check engine warning light on dashboard
• Reduced engine power or acceleration problems
• Unusual exhaust odors or excessive emissions detected
• Engine stalling or poor fuel efficiency
• Failed emissions testing

If experiencing these symptoms, have your converter inspected by professional service to avoid damage or non-compliance.

Minor issues sometimes can be addressed by professional cleaning or repair, but often the converter’s delicate ceramic or metallic substrate suffers irreversible damage from overheating or clogging. Regular vehicle maintenance and fuel quality checks help prolong converter life. However, full replacement is usually recommended for optimal emission control and vehicle performance.

• Avoid short trips that prevent full engine temperature operation
• Replace sensors and gaskets as recommended during exhaust service
• Use quality unleaded petrol and avoid fuel contamination
• Consult authorized workshops for diagnosis and repair advice

For Ford B-Max, choose a properly specified catalytic converter matching your engine for guaranteed results.
