Description
Air connection at the intercooler for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles with the 2.0 HDi RH02 engine.
Overview
This intercooler air connection (intercooler hose/connector) is designed for turbocharged 2.0 HDi RH02 engines used across various Citroën and Peugeot models. Manufactured under the Stellantis umbrella and commonly referenced by the code 0382NE, the part connects the intercooler outlet to downstream intake plumbing, ensuring sealed airflow from the turbocharger to the intake manifold. It is suitable for professional garages and experienced DIY mechanics who need a reliable replacement hose that restores turbo boost control and prevents pressure loss.
Technical Information

Fitment And Applications
Compatible with vehicles fitted with the 2.0 HDi RH02 engine family. Before installation verify engine variant and routing of intake plumbing visually to confirm matching shape and connections. The part is typically used where the intercooler exits toward the intake system on the listed models.
Installation Recommendations
- Work On A Cold Engine: Allow Turbo And Engine Components To Cool Before Starting Work.
- Inspect Surrounding Components: Check Intercooler, Clamps, Pipes And Mating Flanges For Damage Or Corrosion.
- Remove Old Hose Carefully: Loosen Clamps, Release Clips And Detach Any Sensors Or Brackets Securing The Hose.
- Fit New Hose Correctly: Ensure Proper Orientation, Seat Hose Over The Spigot Fully And Align Any Tabs Or Locating Features.
- Use Quality Clamps: Replace Worm Or Oetiker Clamps If Corroded; Tighten Evenly But Avoid Over-Torquing To Prevent Cutting Into The Hose.
- Check Seals And O-Rings: Replace Any Damaged Seals Where Applicable To Maintain Boost Pressure.
- Final Check: After Installation, Start Engine And Perform A Boost Test/Visual Leak Check At Idle And Under Load To Confirm No Leaks.
Common Failure Reasons
Intercooler hoses and connectors commonly fail due to age-related material degradation, heat cycling, and exposure to engine oil or contaminants that soften rubber and reduce tensile strength. Repeated boost pressure spikes, loose or corroded clamps, improper installation, or accidental damage during other repairs also lead to splits or detachment. Symptoms of a failing part include loss of boost, poor throttle response, black smoke on acceleration, and check engine lights related to turbo boost control.
Why Choose This Part
Replacing a worn or damaged intercooler connection with the correct 0382NE part restores proper turbocharger efficiency and engine response. The part is a direct-fit solution for the listed 2.0 HDi applications and helps prevent recurring boost-related faults when installed with correct clamps and sealing checks.
