Description
The Timing Cover (Upper) for Citroën/Peugeot 1.6 HDi engines provides robust protection for the timing belt, sprockets and associated front-end components. Designed for professional workshops and competent DIY mechanics, this cover helps maintain correct timing operation and reduces the risk of oil-related belt contamination.
Features
- Direct-fit replacement for PSA 1.6 HDi engine front covers using OEM reference numbers.
- Shields timing belt, tensioner and cam/crank seals from oil leaks and road debris.
- Engine-grade construction to resist heat, vibration and normal engine stresses.
- Accurate sealing surfaces to ensure reliable gasket and seal mating.
Fitment And Compatibility
Fits various Citroën and Peugeot models equipped with the 1.6 HDi engine. Confirm vehicle compatibility by checking OEM product codes: 9659869380, 0320T6 or 9651560180. Always match part numbers against your vehicle’s existing part to ensure correct fit.
Installation Notes
- Often replaced during timing belt, water pump or major front-end service to ensure a complete repair and long-term reliability.
- Typical replacement sequence: disconnect battery, remove accessory belts and engine covers, support engine if a mount must be removed, unbolt and remove the old cover, clean mating surfaces, fit new gasket/seals and refit the cover following the manufacturer’s torque sequence.
- Use new seals and fasteners where required and consult the factory repair manual for exact procedures and torque values.
Common Causes Of Failure
Failures are usually caused by oil leaks from camshaft or crankshaft seals, impact damage, or material degradation that leads to cracks. Oil contamination of the timing belt accelerates wear and can cause premature belt or tensioner failure, so prompt replacement of a damaged cover is recommended.
