Will give you microfitch diagrams and part numbers but don't expect dealers to have anything, it will be a case of asking hoarders (people with personal stocks) ebay or fb groups .. as well as requests here in the sales and wants section..
When did they get catalytic converterts?

I'm not sure how to do that.
I've been looking up parts in that way but seems different parts sellers have different part numbers. I'm not sure where I can get the original part numbers. Is there a site that has a proper microfiche-style diagram lookup for parts? I've been using Amazon UK but shipping takes a while and is a pain.

The Vin is on the bonnet slam panel and also the metal firewall in front of the windscreen.
See Russ's post on vehicle identification. viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7553
If you can't read the Vin, or it has been removed as part of import, we might be able to obtain it from the Spanish registration number.
The Vin should be on your paperwork.
With the Vin we can check the engine type, which I'm sure will be R6A, so Bosch Le2-jetronic, or Magneti Marelli G5 engine management.
The Rfz engine wasn't sold into Spain initially, only into countries that mandated catalytic converters.
From the engine management thread, already linked to but here again, you can download the correct technical information for your engine management system.
viewtopic.php?f=13&t=10588
At the back of each manual is a list of part numbers for that system, in both Citroen and supplier detail.
I think the Sin Plombo sticker on the fuel flap is just telling you the engine can use unleaded petrol.
I believe your engine will look like the one in this image which uses MM-G5 management. You can tell as it uses solid state ignition coil mounted where the distributor normally goes and there is no air vane metering unit mounted in the large intake ducting.
The coil appears similar to a distributor cap, but isn't.

Re: When did they get catalytic converterts?
Thank you very informative!
It's definitely the Bosch unit as it has the same (or at least very similar looking) flapper valve AFM that my E30 does. If it actually is the same unit, it might be worth noting that in my race series we developed an electronic unit that replaces the flapper AFM. Plug and play, and doesn't suffer the mechanical wear issues we were having with the factory AFMs.

Re: When did they get catalytic converterts?
Your link shows an Afm where they need the flap to be working doesn't it, so still mechanical.
Would replacing the Afm unit with a Mas sensor not work? Select a suitable size pipe for it to fit in and it should monitor the amount of air passing through.
A Mas sensor has the advantage it is measuring the mass of the air, not the volume, which takes into account the density.
Without checking I would think the Afm has a low voltage output at idle (sub 1v), which rises as the flap is moved until Wot and maximum revs are attained, Probably 4.5-4.8v. If so, a Mas sensor should work.
Have you downloaded the Le2-Jetronic manual and the Blink Code Reader information?

Re: When did they get catalytic converterts?
It uses an electronic sweep sensor instead of an exposed mechanical arm. I'll see if I can get a photo of the inside this weekend.Dieselman wrote: ↑Wed Oct 25, 2023 6:32 amYour link shows an Afm where they need the flap to be working doesn't it, so still mechanical.

I downloaded the manual but still need to work on getting the codes. The car isn't showing a CEL right now. It's at a shop getting an assortment of issues fixed.
Thanks everyone for all the help
