Compatibility of Catalytic Converters

Hi, all,

I'm looking for a used catalytic converter for my 2005 Jimny VVT (second cat, not the one on the manifold.

Does anyone know, will any cat from 2005 onwards fit? E.g. 2016. Or did they change over the years?

Thanks
Lee



 

There are [at least] two different exhaust layouts on Gen 3 Jimny, with pipe length/flange different.

You might be best off looking in the parts catalogue and compare against the CAT which is already fitted.

By the way the CATs aren't expensive new (approx £75), especially if you go for an after market one.

Sorry I meant this link to exploded diagrams parts list.

The other link is handy as it gives cross reference parts.

A new one that should be bolt on with the pipes and all from a Euro car part store here in Norway is like 200- 300 euro. should not be more in EU or UK. I would not recommend buying a used cat as they mostly get congested over time and the aftermarket ones are fairly cheap.

A quick search here shows BM CATs for a 2005 Jimny are about £106.

I fitted BM CATs to my other vehicle, they seemed good, although it turns out one of the 'hangers' was in the wrong place so the garage welded a new one in place.

This could have been a case of 'a model' change for the year of my car. If you use the parts catalogue link I sent in the first post, it has BM part numbers against original Suzuki.

I should imagine an original Suzuki CAT is rather more than £100.

Original one is about 1200 GBP from Suzuki.

I was looking at used original cats, because I put a non original one on just a year ago and it seems to have failed and causing a blockage already.

Also, it was difficult to fit according to my mechanic because it was not exactly the same as the original.

Thanks for that web page!
