Catalytic Convertors

What they do

Catalytic converter is a post-engine “filter” that uses a combination of heat and precious metals to chemically convert an engine’s harmful emissions into less environmentally damaging ones.

Range

APSW offer an ever increasing range of over 700 direct fit and 15 universal catalytic converters. We are committed to the European R103 type approval regulations and the majority of our converters already carry a, part number specific, type approval number. The Fuel Parts converters we supply come with fitting instructions and tips for both the fitter and vehicle owner.

Symptoms of failure

MOT emissions failure, internal rattle or a reduction in vehicle performance are all symptoms that can be associated with catalyst failure but it should be borne in mind that the majority of converter failures are caused by engine management faults. Before replacing or condemning a catalyst ensure that the vehicle’s emissions and engine management system are fully investigated.

Maintenance

No maintenance of the catalyst is required and there are no internally serviceable parts. It is important that the engine management system and the vehicle’s emissions be regularly serviced and checked. For more information regarding this please consult your vehicle owner’s manual.</P>

Typical location

Mounted in the exhaust system in a position that is as close to the engine as possible. Fitted after the Lambda sensor it typically resembles a small exhaust silencer.
