Description
The Throttle Body is a critical component for the 1.6 HDI engines used in various Citroën and Peugeot models. This component helps control the amount of air entering the engine, which is essential for optimizing performance and fuel efficiency.
Commonly, the Throttle Body works by adjusting the engine’s air intake based on various signals from the engine control unit (ECU). Over time, it can fail due to carbon buildup, electronic issues, or mechanical wear, often resulting in poor acceleration, stalling, or increased fuel consumption.
Replacing the Throttle Body typically involves disconnecting the air intake hose, electrical connectors, and any mounting bolts. Regular inspection and cleaning can prolong its lifespan, but replacement is necessary if significant issues arise.
