Fitment on a used catalytic converter varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
Yes, every Peugeot RCZ has a catalytic converter — it was fitted across all engine variants including the 1.6 THP petrol and the 2.0 HDi diesel. The petrol engines use a standard catalytic converter as part of the exhaust system, while the diesel variants combine a catalytic converter with a diesel particulate filter (DPF). All RCZ engines are emissions-controlled and the cat is a genuine, integral part of the exhaust system on every version.
The Peugeot RCZ ran from 2010 to 2015 as a single generation coupe, but a facelift was introduced in 2012–2013 which brought updates that could affect exhaust components. Whether a pre-facelift cat crosses over to a post-facelift car depends on your specific engine code, and emissions-era differences can mean a visually similar part fails to fit correctly or causes MOT issues — confirm the match with the breaker against your exact registration and engine code before buying.
Trim level in itself does not determine catalytic converter fitment, but the RCZ R is a meaningfully different car here because it uses a higher-output version of the 1.6 THP engine, which may mean a different exhaust specification compared to the standard 1.6 THP variants. The key factors are always the engine code and emissions standard, not the trim name or any cosmetic differences between models. Give the breaker your registration and engine code so they can match the correct unit rather than relying on trim name alone.
Yes, fuel type makes a significant difference — the 1.6 THP and 2.0 THP petrol engines use a standalone catalytic converter, while the 2.0 HDi diesel uses a catalytic converter that works alongside a diesel particulate filter (DPF), and these systems are not interchangeable. Fitting a cat from the wrong fuel type will not work and could result in an MOT failure. Always specify your fuel type and engine code to the breaker when requesting a quote.
The 1.6 THP engine was used across several Peugeot and Citroen models, so there is some parts commonality in principle, but exhaust routing, pipe diameters, and emissions calibration can differ between vehicle applications even with the same engine code. Whether a cat from a 308 or 3008 will physically fit and perform correctly on an RCZ is strong confirm-with-breaker territory — provide your RCZ's registration and engine code and ask the breaker to cross-reference it against the donor vehicle's details before agreeing to buy.
On the 2.0 HDi, the catalytic converter and the DPF are separate components but work closely together in the exhaust after-treatment system, and a fault with one can put strain on the other. Whether you need to replace both depends on the condition of each unit, and this is genuinely something to discuss with your mechanic after a proper diagnosis. When sourcing from a breaker, confirm whether the cat and DPF are being sold separately or as a combined unit, and check that both match your registration's emissions specification.
