Description
Intake throttle valve 2.0 HDI RHK for CITROEN and PEUGEOT cars
Part description
This intake valve (throttle valve) is designed for the 2.0 HDI RHK engine version of Citroën/Peugeot cars. In practice, it is an important part of the intake system, which helps the correct control of the air flow into the engine and thus stable operation and reaction to the gas.
For used parts, the key is to search by product number – if it matches, you significantly increase the certainty of a correct replacement.

Installation recommendations
Generally/typically for intake throttles the exact steps may vary depending on the specific car design and intake accessories. Below is a practical procedure applicable to most applications of this type of part.
1) Before assembly (checks)
- Check if the part numbers (especially 9659041880 and 0345E6) match the old part.
- Compare the shape of the body, the attachment, the position of the connector and the design of the neck/housings with the old part.
- Inspect the connector and pins (they must not be bent, oxidized, cracked).
- Check whether the valve body is cracked and the seating surfaces are not damaged.
- If a gasket/O-ring is included, check its condition (hardening, cracks, deformation).
2) Necessary tools and materials (in general)
- Basic set of ratchets/bits and screwdrivers
- Pliers for hose clips (according to design)
- Clean rags, or a gentle cleaner to degrease the contact surfaces
- Possibly a new seal (if your model has a used one or the original one is damaged)
3) Step-by-step assembly procedure
- Turn off the ignition, immobilize the vehicle and allow the engine to cool down.
- Disconnect the battery (safe practice with electrical parts).
- Get access to the intake flap by removing the obstructing covers/intake pipe as per the specific design.
- Disconnect the flap electrical connector – release the connector lock and do not pull on the wiring.
- Release attached hoses/lines (if present) and note their position for proper rewiring.
- Unscrew the fixing screws and remove the old flap.
- Clean the suction contact surfaces so that no dirt/sealing remains.
- Install the damper: seat it correctly in position, if necessary, insert the gasket in the correct direction and tighten the fastening evenly.
- Reconnect all hoses/lines and secure clips.
- Connect the electrical connector and check that it clicks firmly.
- Reinstall the removed covers/suction part.
- Connect the battery, turn on the ignition and perform a basic function check (without revving the engine unnecessarily).
-
4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification
- Check that there are no leaks in the intake (hissing, unusual noises) and that all clips/screws are tight.
- Check idle stability and throttle response.
- If you have diagnostics, verify the presence of errors and basic values related to the intake (depending on the car).
- After a short test drive, visually check the connections and connectors again.
5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them
- Part replacement by appearance instead of number → always compare 9659041880 and 0345E6.
- Seal damage / suction leak → check and possibly replace the seal, clean contact surfaces.
- Poorly clicked connector → after connecting, gently pull the connector to see if it holds.
- Pinched wiring or hoses → when folding, guide the bundles along the original route and check the clearances.
Reasons why the part is damaged
- Contamination with dirt and oil vapors from the intake, which increase the resistance to movement of the damper and impair its function.
- Leaks in the intake and subsequent non-standard operating conditions (vibration, restless operation), which put a long-term strain on the damper.
- Electrical problems (moisture in the connector, oxidation of the pins, damaged wiring), leading to control failures.
- Mechanical damage due to improper handling (prying, part falling, body or connector cracking).
