OEM Nissan Nissan NV200 Catalytic Converters

The engine in your Nissan NV200 has to burn gas to produce the power that keeps it running, and the combustion process produces noxious fumes -- everything from carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons to nitrogen oxides. The cargo van's exhaust system helps remove them safely, which protects not only you and your passengers but also the environment. However, it couldn't do that without a catalytic converter -- "cat," for short.

What Does a Catalytic Converter Do for a Nissan NV200?

As a critical part of the van's exhaust, one located between the exhaust manifold and the muffler, it helps capture, contain, and convert most pollutants into a relatively harmless combination of water vapor and carbon dioxide. It does so using a metal catalyst coating -- often, a combo of platinum, rhodium, and palladium.

How Does its Catalytic Converter Work?

Put simply, it splits the toxic nitrogen-oxide (NO2) into nitrogen (N) and oxygen (O), trapping the N and releasing the O. It also oxidizes (basically, burns up) the hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide. The result: the above-mentioned cleaner gases, which the exhaust ejects and dissipates into the air nearby.

What are the Signs a Catalytic Converter is Bad and Needs Replacing?

For one, the engine can seem slower and less responsive. You may also have problems accelerating, notice excessive, black exhaust smoke coming from the tail pipe, and smell the sulfuric odor of something like rotten eggs. You may even notice excessive heat coming from the underbody. If the work van you love starts to show these symptoms, you may need to change its cat. Otherwise, when you should replace one is pretty straightforward -- take care of it about every 100,000 miles. But when you do, be sure to buy a genuine one.

Why Buy a Genuine OEM Catalytic Converter?

It'll be manufactured by Nissan specifically for the commercial vehicle. That's a compatibility assurance you may not get from an aftermarket catalytic converter.
