Description
Catalytic converter for Citroën C1 and Peugeot 107 with 1.0 i 50 kW engine
Exhaust manifold with integrated catalytic converter
From a car with a genuine mileage of 48,000 km
Overview
This original used catalytic converter is a direct-fit exhaust manifold with an integrated catalyst designed for the 1.0 i (1KR) petrol engines in Citroën C1 and Peugeot 107. It restores proper exhaust treatment and helps maintain emission control, fuel efficiency and engine performance when the original unit is clogged, damaged or thermally degraded. Ideal for professional workshops and experienced DIY mechanics searching by product codes 0342L3, 1608916280 or 1688263080.
Benefits
- Direct replacement for vehicles equipped with the 1.0 i 1KR engine — simplifies installation without major exhaust modifications.
- Restores exhaust flow and emission control, reducing backpressure and improving drivability when the original is compromised.
- Used part from low-mileage donor vehicle (48,000 km) — cost-effective alternative to new aftermarket units.

Installation Recommendations
Recommended for installation by an experienced mechanic or competent DIY-er with the right tools. Typical replacement steps:
- Allow the exhaust to cool thoroughly before starting work to avoid burns.
- Raise and safely support the vehicle to access the exhaust manifold.
- Disconnect the oxygen sensor(s) and remove heat shields to expose the manifold flange.
- Unbolt the manifold-to-head and manifold-to-downpipe connections; inspect studs and nuts and replace if corroded.
- Replace exhaust gaskets and any sealing hardware during reassembly to ensure a gas-tight joint.
- Use anti-seize on sensor and fastener threads where appropriate and torque bolts to the manufacturer’s specification.
- After installation, check for exhaust leaks, proper sensor operation and correct engine running.
Why This Part Fails
Catalytic converters can fail or become ineffective for several common reasons: prolonged exposure to unburned fuel (resulting from misfires or a rich running condition), contamination by engine oil or coolant, thermal shock from overheating, or physical damage from road debris. Excessive soot buildup or internal substrate breakage can cause clogging, increased backpressure and loss of performance. Addressing the root engine issue (misfires, oil consumption, coolant leaks) is essential to prevent repeat failures.
Notes For Buyers
This is a used OEM component from a low-mileage donor vehicle. It is suitable for professionals and skilled DIY mechanics seeking a cost-effective, direct-fit replacement. Verify part numbers against your original part to confirm compatibility.
