Description
This throttle valve is designed for 1.0 1KR engine variants in Citroën C1, Peugeot 107, and Toyota Aygo models. It plays a crucial role in controlling the air intake into the engine, which directly affects engine performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions.
The throttle valve regulates the amount of air entering the combustion chamber by adjusting the throttle plate’s opening based on the driver’s input via the accelerator pedal. Over time, throttle valves can accumulate carbon deposits, become less responsive, or fail electronically due to wear and tear, which may cause poor engine idling, reduced power, or increased fuel consumption.
Replacing this component is usually straightforward: it involves disconnecting electrical connectors, removing mounting screws, and then installing the new throttle valve. Regular inspection can help maintain optimal engine responsiveness and smooth driving experience.
