Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / March 2005HDi catalytic convector split
Has anyone else had to replace the catalytic convector on their Peugeot HDI? Mines a 306 d-turbo 5 ½ years old with 65k on the clock. The section with the catalytic converter has developed a split. Peugeot have quoted me £368 plus fitting, although I can get this down to about £200 for a non-genuine part. Any thoughts? I'm surprised this part of the exhaust system is having problems already. i have an 02 plate and have just had my cat replaced try ATS EUROMASTER mine cost £182 including v.a.t and fitting >Has anyone else had to replace the catalytic convector on their Peugeot HDI? >Mines a 306 d-turbo 5 ? years old with 65k on the clock. > >The section with the catalytic converter has developed a split.

I am sure there was a thread in which it was discussed as to whether a CAT was actually needed on a diesel engined car. Maybe some of the more knowledgeable folks on this group would like to advise?

The law in England only requires the petrol cars to have cats, so you can have it removed and replaced with a regular 306 straight through exhaust system I believe.

On a petrol engine it removes the CO, but that is the one substance which a diesel does not produce. I would just fit a plain pipe instead. Might well get a couple more MPG too.
