Tips for fitting a replacement EEC Catalytic Converter

As the experts in the aftermarket automotive industry, EEC is pleased to offer tips for the fitting of all our product range.


When mounting an EEC catalytic converter, please:


1) Do not use sealer or paste as this will invalidate your warranty and could potentially cause damage to the replacement catalytic converter 

2) Mount the new EEC catalytic converter, before undertaking final fixing check the converter has adequate space to move without touching the body.

3) Complete a 4 gas test immediately after fitting the EEC replacement cat to assist with location of any emission faults (the new cat will be operating at 100% efficiency at this stage).

 4) Perform a satisfactory road test

 Please note it is illegal to install a non approved catalytic converter on vehicles registered 1st March 2001 onwards.

Checks before fitting a new Diesel Particulate Filter

Before fitting a new Diesel Particulate Filter, you should check the following components on a vehicle:

* EGR valve or EGR pipe blockage
* Oxygen sensors
* DPF pressure pipes and valves
* Air flow meter
* Intake manifold
* Pressure switch
* Engine temperature sensor
* Engine oil - is it the correct specification for the engine?
* Intake manifold
* Turbo charger function
* Engine wear
* Fuel pressure
* Heater / Glow Plugs
* Leaking Injectors
* Blocked sensors
* ECU Malfunction
* Air filter condition

The above are just some general points, but it's recommended that a full service is carried out at the same time as installing a new DPF, and remember that most diesel engines fitted with a DPF require a specific low ash oil.

Some vehicles also require a special additive in the oil at the same time a DPF is replaced, and each vehicle will require an individual diagnostic investigation and testing procedure.
