Description
The Intake Throttle Valve for 1.6 HDI engines of Citroën and Peugeot vehicles plays a critical role in regulating the air flow into the engine. This component is designed to precisely control the volume of air entering the combustion chamber, which directly impacts engine performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions.
Commonly used under the product codes 9655971680 and 0345C0, this throttle valve ensures smooth acceleration, optimal idling, and reliable engine response. It is suitable for a range of Citroën and Peugeot models equipped with the 1.6 HDI engine, a widely recognized diesel engine known for its balance between efficiency and power.
Replacing the throttle valve is recommended if you experience rough idle, reduced engine power, or irregular acceleration. Typically, throttle valves can wear out or become clogged due to soot and carbon deposits over time, especially in diesel engines. Maintenance or replacement intervals vary depending on driving conditions but generally occur around 100,000 kilometers or when diagnostic trouble codes indicate throttle-related issues.
The replacement process involves disconnecting the battery, removing the air intake duct, disconnecting electrical connectors, and detaching the throttle valve from the intake manifold. Proper recalibration or reset of the throttle valve position sensor is essential after installation to ensure correct operation.
