Description
The Intake Throttle Valve for 1.6 HDI engines is a critical component used in Citroën and Peugeot models, designed to regulate the airflow into the engine manifold. This precise control directly impacts engine performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions by ensuring the optimal air-fuel mixture.
This specific part, identified by product codes 9649832580 and 0345C1, is compatible with a range of PSA vehicles equipped with the 1.6 HDI diesel engine. It is commonly replaced when symptoms such as rough idling, poor acceleration, or engine warning lights occur due to malfunction or clogging caused by carbon buildup over time.
Replacement of the throttle valve should be performed by skilled mechanics or knowledgeable DIY enthusiasts familiar with diesel engine systems. The process generally involves disconnecting the battery, removing the air intake hose, unplugging electrical connectors, and carefully extracting the faulty valve for installation of the new component, followed by system calibration where necessary.
