Description
Air intake, air filter housing cover for Citroën C1 and Peugeot 107 1.0 1KR. For Euro 5 vehicles or vehicles equipped with an automated manual (robotized) gearbox or ESP.
This replacement air intake cover is designed for workshop use and DIY repairs, delivering a reliable seal for the airbox and protecting the air filter from contaminants. Ideal for mechanics and car owners servicing the 1.0 1KR engine, the part helps maintain correct airflow to the engine, prevents unmetered air leaks and supports stable running—important when diagnosing codes such as P0171. Supplied to match OEM fitment for easy installation and direct replacement of the original component.
Technical Information

Function And Benefits
The air filter housing cover secures the air filter element inside the airbox and ensures that all intake air passes through the filter before reaching the throttle body and engine. A correct, undamaged cover prevents dust and moisture ingress, avoids vacuum leaks that can alter the air/fuel ratio, and helps to keep sensors such as the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor operating within specification. Using the correct OEM-coded cover ensures accurate fitment and reduces installation time in the workshop.
Compatibility And Fitment Notes
Fits Citroën C1 and Peugeot 107 with the 1.0 1KR engine. Specified for Euro 5 vehicles and models equipped with an automated manual (robotized) gearbox or ESP. Always cross-check the product codes (17705-0Q020 / 144091) when searching to confirm match with the vehicle’s existing part.
When To Replace And Common Faults
Replace the air filter housing cover if you find cracks, broken securing clips or mounting points, or evidence of air leaks around the sealing surface. Common causes of failure include impact damage (garage knocks, road debris), plastic aging and embrittlement from heat cycles, or broken clips from repeated servicing. An incorrect or damaged cover can lead to unmetered air entering the intake, which frequently results in lean-running fault codes (for example P0171) and unstable idle or drivability issues.
Installation Recommendations
- Prepare the vehicle: Park on a level surface and allow the engine to cool before starting work.
- Remove old cover: Release retaining clips or remove screws securing the airbox lid, then lift the cover and remove the air filter element.
- Inspect and transfer: Check and, if necessary, transfer any sensors, grommets or hoses attached to the cover. Replace damaged clips or seals to ensure a tight fit.
- Fit new cover: Position the new cover, re-seat the air filter element correctly, and secure all clips/screws evenly to avoid distortion of the housing.
- Final checks: Verify all intake hoses and vacuum lines are correctly connected and free of cracks. Start the engine and confirm normal idle and absence of intake leaks.
Why This Part Matters For Diagnostics
A damaged or poorly seated airbox cover is a common root cause of intake leaks and irregular airflow readings. Before replacing sensors or performing more invasive diagnostics, inspect the airbox cover and associated seals—this simple check often resolves lean-code complaints and restores correct sensor readings.
Note For Buyers
Searches by product code (17705-0Q020, 144091, 177050Q020) will help you find the exact match quickly. Suitable for both professional workshops and competent DIYers familiar with basic intake-system servicing.
