Description

Product Overview

The Valve Cover Diaphragm Kit for 1.6 HDI engines is a crucial component designed specifically for PSA Citroën and Peugeot vehicles. This kit includes the diaphragm that fits onto the valve cover, playing a vital role in regulating crankcase pressure and preventing oil leaks.

The diaphragm acts as a pressure relief device, ensuring that excess pressure built up inside the valve cover is properly vented. This helps maintain engine efficiency and prevents premature wear of engine seals and gaskets. Commonly referenced by the product number 0248S0, this part is frequently searched by both professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts ensuring ease of identification and ordering.

Function and Replacement Information

Over time, the diaphragm can become brittle, cracked, or worn due to heat and exposure to engine oil vapors, which may result in oil leaks or reduced engine performance. Replacing the valve cover diaphragm typically involves removing the valve cover, cleaning the mating surfaces, and installing the new diaphragm carefully to ensure a proper seal.

Service intervals vary depending on driving conditions and engine maintenance, but checking the diaphragm during routine valve cover gasket replacement or around 80,000 to 120,000 kilometers is advisable. Early replacement can prevent costly repairs related to oil leakage and pressure imbalance.
