Lifetime of a Catalytic Converter on a 206 2.0?
-> 206 Problems

#1: Lifetime of a Catalytic Converter on a 206 2.0? Author: Zash, Location: England PostPosted: Wed Sep 13, 2017 11:14 pm

Hey fellas!

PP2000 is throwing up a 420 catalytic converter lifetime fault.

I have done 92,000 miles.

2000 model 206CC 2.0 16V

My primary question is:
1. What is the expected lifetime of the Cat on this model? (I believe it is identical to the 136BHP 206 GTi)
I hear they are guaranteed in the states for 8 years/80k miles. Is this true for my model as well? (I have also heard the 206 Cat doesn't suffer from life problems unless something is wrong...)


Additional information:
Been running on LPG for the last few years. I was running a little rich for ~2 years (Green line below) - I re-calibrated to the following (Blue Line) today after gathering data points when taking it out for a spin.
 


Question 2:
2. Is the mixture difference enough to kill the Cat over 2 years? (green line vs blue line).

Question 3:
3. Although I have ordered 2 lambda sensors in the hope of them being at fault, can anyone recommend a good Cat for the price? I hear all the cheaper ones are made of ceramic and only last for ~1 year. I have seen a few on eBay with 2 year warranty; are these worth it? Or would you guys simply recommend to screw after market crap and just get a used one?


Thanks for any insight!
