Description
The 1.0 Throttle Valve is a crucial component designed for Citroën C1, Peugeot 107, and Toyota Aygo vehicles equipped with the 1KR engine. It regulates the air intake into the engine, directly affecting combustion efficiency, engine responsiveness, and overall vehicle performance.
Over time, throttle valves can suffer from carbon buildup, wear on the sensor and actuator, or mechanical failures that may cause poor throttle response, rough idling, or stalling issues. Regular inspection during maintenance is recommended to ensure optimal operation.
Replacing this throttle valve is straightforward for experienced mechanics or DIY enthusiasts with basic automotive knowledge. The part typically mounts on the intake manifold and involves disconnecting the air intake hose, electrical connectors, and removing securing bolts. Always follow manufacturer safety guidelines to avoid damage.
