Throttle Body 1.6 HDi Peugeot/Citroen 9660030380 0345E3

Description

Description

This throttle body is designed specifically for 1.6 HDI engines used in Citroën and Peugeot models. Manufactured by Delphi, it controls the amount of air entering the engine’s intake manifold, ensuring optimal combustion and engine efficiency. The precise operation of the throttle body is vital for maintaining smooth engine performance, fuel efficiency, and reduced emissions.

The throttle body is a common wear item due to constant exposure to air flow, dust, and soot from the combustion process. Over time, deposits can cause the throttle plate to stick or malfunction, resulting in rough idling, acceleration problems, or even stalling. Typical replacement intervals vary depending on driving conditions but are often necessary after 80,000 to 120,000 km for 1.6 HDI engines.

Replacing the throttle body involves disconnecting the intake hose and electrical connectors, removing mounting screws, and installing the new unit in reverse order. It is advisable to clean the surrounding intake components and recalibrate the throttle body using diagnostic equipment after installation to ensure optimal functionality.
