For Vauxhall Astra G/MK4 1.8 16V Genuine BM Cats Front Catalytic Converter. We apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused. If your vehicle is registered before 1st March 2001, then you DO NOT need to fit a Type Approved Catalytic Converter. However, if your vehicle is registered after 1st March 2001, then YOU MUST fit a Type Approved Catalytic Converter in accordance with UK Legislation Laws. Due to new legal requirements in 2022, fitment does need to be checked/approved before we are able to process your order. Once your order is placed we will be in contact for your vehicle details to confirm compatibility, if this has not been supplied previously. Please Note: If a reply is not received this may cause your order to be delayed. Thank you for your co-operation. In 1993, it became a legal requirement in the UK for vehicles to be fitted with Catalytic Converters as part of the Euro Emissions standards to improve air quality. Today, BM Catalysts manufacture Europe's largest range of Catalytic Converters.
A Catalytic Converter (Cat) is an emissions control device that reduces the level of harmful exhaust gasses that enter the atmosphere. It works by converting exhaust emissions into less harmful ones when the gasses pass through it, triggering a chemical reaction. EU Emissions Standards are subject to amendment from time to time, for example, vehicles made after March 2001 (Y-reg onward) are now required under UK law to be fitted with type-approved, homologated Cats. Anything from Euro 3 onward are classed as H-parts and can be identified in the BM range by a "H" suffix.
BM Catalysts work tirelessly to keep up-to-date with these standards and develop their parts to meet the ever-changing needs of both the industry and their customers.
