Skoda Citigo Catalytic Converter (2011-2019)

The Skoda Citigo catalytic converter is a key exhaust component designed to reduce harmful emissions from the car’s engine. It comes in several variants tailored to the engine type and production year, ensuring optimal fit and performance for Skoda Citigo models manufactured between January 2012 and May 2018. It helps convert exhaust gases into less polluting substances, supporting compliance with Euro 4 to Euro 6 emission standards.

The catalytic converters fit Skoda Citigo models equipped mainly with these 1.0-liter engines:

• CHYA engine: 60 hp (44 kW), 999 cm³ displacement
• CHYB engine: 75 hp (55 kW), 999 cm³ displacement

Compatibility covers models produced from 2012 to 2018, designed to match engine specifications and Euro emission standards.

Important technical details include:

• Length: ranges from 780 mm to 880 mm
• Weight: between 3.4 kg and 4 kg
• Mounting position: Front (before the exhaust pipe)
• Emission standards: Euro 4, Euro 5, Euro 5+, and Euro 6 compliant versions
• Type: Monobloc design with included mounting hardware

These details ensure a perfect fit and effective fuel exhaust filtering while maintaining engine performance.

The relevant engine codes for compatibility are: 7GH, 7MG, 7MJ, and 7MM. The main Original Equipment (OE) numbers linked with these catalytic converters include:

• 1S0131701D
• 1S0253053BX

These codes help ensure the spare catalytic converter fits precisely and works optimally with the vehicle's exhaust and engine system.

The recommended replacement interval for the catalytic converter is approximately every 100,000 kilometres. Regular inspection for wear or damage is advised to maintain proper exhaust filtration and engine function.

• Check for exhaust leaks or unusual sounds
• Monitor engine performance and fuel efficiency
• Ensure emission control system sensors are functioning

Timely replacement helps prevent harmful emissions and maintains the health of the car’s exhaust and fuel systems.

The catalytic converter is mounted at the front of the exhaust system. It is integrated into the exhaust pipe and works in conjunction with other components like the fuel injection system and sensors to filter exhaust gases effectively.

• Installed in the exhaust pipe near the engine outlet
• Includes mounting parts and sometimes an integrated exhaust pipe section
• Requires functioning oxygen sensors (Lambda sensors) for optimal control

This setup ensures emissions are treated promptly before exiting the vehicle, keeping the air cleaner and meeting environmental regulations.

Krosfou catalytic converters are made from high-grade INOX 409 stainless steel with advanced ceramic monoliths, providing superior durability and performance. Key quality points include:

• Certified to meet or exceed OEM quality and European E24-103R standards
• Produced in European factories with strict quality controls
• Backed by a 3-year warranty covering up to 100,000 km usage
• Supplied with mounting parts and fittings for easy installation

This guarantees reliable exhaust filtration, long service life, and compatibility with emission control sensors.

When replacing the catalytic converter on your Skoda Citigo, keep in mind:

• The vehicle must be equipped with a compatible OBD (On-Board Diagnostic) system to ensure correct emission control
• Always replace the oxygen sensor (Lambda sensor) together with the catalytic converter after about 80,000 to 100,000 km
• Use copper connectors if installing connections before the catalytic converter and ensure exhaust system tightness
• Choose a catalytic converter that matches your engine size and fuel type (only for unleaded petrol engines originally equipped with a catalytic converter)

Following these recommendations will help maintain the exhaust system’s efficiency, reduce emissions, and avoid potential engine or sensor issues.

If unsure, professional garage installation and a thorough system check are advised to ensure proper fit and function.
