Description
Throttle valve, assembled DELPHI air dispenser for 1.6 HDI engines
From a car with 46,000 km
Part description
This throttle valve (air meter) by DELPHI for the 1.6 HDI is used to precisely control the amount of air in the intake, which has a direct effect on engine performance, throttle response and idle stability. This is a used original part from a vehicle with a low mileage of 46,000 km, suitable as a replacement in the event of malfunctions with air regulation or mechanical damage to the body/valve.
The part is particularly sought after product numbers 9660030380 and 0345E3 and is used in PSA (Citroën/Peugeot) cars – according to the available labels, e.g. Citroën C3, Citroën C3 Picasso, Peugeot 207, Peugeot 307.

Installation recommendations
- Please compare the part codes (9660030380, 0345E3) with the original part before assembly.
- Check the condition of the suction pipe and the seal at the landing point; intake leaks often cause idle fluctuations and error states.
- It is recommended to clean the connected parts of the intake (hoses, flanges) from oil deposits and dirt so that the flapper works without unnecessary resistance.
- After replacement, perform a function check (idling, throttle response) and diagnose any error codes in the control unit.
Reasons why the part is damaged
- Fouling of carbon and oil vapors from the intake (typical of diesels), which increases the resistance of the valve and can lead to seizing of the mechanism.
- Leaks in the intake and subsequent incorrect air dosing, which can cause irregular operation and overloading of the component.
- Moisture and corrosion around the connectors/electrical part (if included in the assembly) leading to signal dropouts.
- Mechanical damage to the body or flap during unprofessional disassembly/assembly, or when unsuitable cleaning agents are used.
