Part description

This air conditioning control kit (rods) is designed to repair the heating/air conditioning control mechanism on Citroën and Peugeot cars. In practice, it solves situations when the control elements do not work smoothly, the flaps do not react correctly or the operation of the control is stiff or imprecise. Thanks to the clearly traceable marking 1610531780, the part is easily identifiable when searching by product number.

Technical information

• Manufacturer: MAHLE
• Model: not specified
• Other numbers: 1610496880

Product codes

• Product codes: 1610531780, 1610496880

Installation recommendations

• Prior to assembly, compare the part number on the original component with the codes listed.
• It is recommended to check the free movement of the pull rods and subsequent mechanical parts of the control in order to avoid overloading again.
• After installation, verify the correct operation of the control (smooth operation, correct response of the flaps in the entire range).

Reasons why the part is damaged

• Mechanical wear of tie rods and joints due to long-term use.
• Increased resistance of the mechanism (stiffened flaps/mounts) which puts excessive strain on the tie rods.
• Reckless handling of the controls (sudden switching, violent stops).
• Impurities in the area of the mechanism, which impair operation and increase friction.
