Front Section - Vehicles Without DPF
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Jaguar XE and 2017 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The front section has an inlet flange which mates with the turbocharger outlet. The flange is sealed with a stainless metallic gasket to the turbocharger and secured with a vee clamp onto the turbocharger housing.
An elbow from the flange is connected to the catalytic converter. The elbow contains a threaded boss for the installation of the pre catalytic converter Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S).
The catalytic converter is connected by a curved pipe to a flange which mates with the flexible coupling of the center section.
Two studs and nuts secure the top of the catalytic converter to the engine via a mounting bracket and a clamp secures the catalytic converter outlet pipe to a transmission bracket.
