Ford Tourneo Catalytic Converter

The catalytic converter in a Ford Tourneo is a key component of the vehicle’s exhaust system that reduces harmful emissions. It uses a ceramic honeycomb structure coated with alumina and precious metals like platinum, rhodium, and palladium to convert toxic gases such as hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) into less harmful substances like carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen (N2), and water vapor (H2O) through chemical oxidation and reduction reactions.

The converter treats exhaust gases produced by incomplete fuel combustion in the engine. It relies on high temperatures to activate chemical reactions:

• Hydrocarbons (HC) plus oxygen (O2) are converted to carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
• Carbon monoxide (CO) is oxidized to carbon dioxide (CO2).
• Nitrogen oxides (NOx) are reduced to nitrogen (N2) and carbon dioxide (CO2).

The catalytic converter rapidly heats after startup and remains hot for some time after engine shutdown to maintain these reactions efficiently.

Specifics for the Ford Tourneo, including Connect and Grand Tourneo Connect diesel models (e.g., 1.6 TDCi 75 HP), include:

• Catalytic converters designed for diesel engines, often combined with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).
• Robust construction with stainless steel casing and flexible layers to handle thermal expansion.
• High residual heat emission after engine shutdown requiring safe parking precautions such as avoiding dry grass or flammable materials under the tailpipe.
• Typical dimensions: about 640 mm length and weighing approximately 5 kg.

This ensures compatibility and optimal function within the Ford Tourneo exhaust system.

The catalytic converter emits significant heat during and after engine operation. Safety recommendations include:

• Avoid parking the vehicle on dry grass, leaves, or other flammable materials to prevent fire hazards.
• Ensure proper installation and maintenance to prevent exhaust leaks or overheating.
• Replace worn Lambda sensors alongside the catalytic converter to maintain system efficiency and avoid error codes.

Always follow manufacturer guidelines to ensure safe use and handling around the exhaust system.

Common signs indicating catalytic converter issues include:

• Illuminated check engine light or OBD codes such as P0420.
• Loss of engine power or reduced acceleration.
• Unusual exhaust smells or increased emissions.
• Rattling noises from under the vehicle indicating damaged internal components.

If experiencing these symptoms, have a qualified technician perform diagnostic checks to confirm if replacement is required.
