Description
Product Overview
This exhaust manifold is designed specifically for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles equipped with 1.1, 1.4, and 1.6 8-valve engines. The manifold plays a crucial role in directing exhaust gases from the engine cylinders into the exhaust system efficiently, improving engine performance and reducing emissions.
Often sought after under the product code 9636962310, this part offers a direct replacement option for worn or damaged exhaust manifolds. It is particularly suitable for mechanics and car enthusiasts performing DIY repairs who require reliable, engine-specific components.
Technical Details and Compatibility
- The exhaust manifold supports engines with 8 valves configured in 1.1L, 1.4L, and 1.6L displacements.
- Lambda sensor is typically not included with the manifold and may need to be purchased separately depending on the vehicle variant and engine setup.
- Common product numbers associated with this manifold include 9661916480, 9638982310, and 0341F9, ensuring compatibility across various PSA Citroën and Peugeot models.
Installation Guidance
Replacement of the exhaust manifold should be conducted once symptoms such as exhaust leaks, unusual engine noise, or decreased fuel efficiency appear. Due to the manifold’s exposure to high temperatures and mechanical stress, cracks or warping can occur over time.
Installation involves removing the old manifold by disconnecting related exhaust components, cleaning the mounting surface, and carefully fitting the new manifold to ensure a proper seal. Torque specifications from the vehicle service manual must be followed to prevent leaks or damage.
Why This Part Fails and When to Replace
Exhaust manifolds often fail due to prolonged exposure to extreme heat cycles causing material fatigue and cracking. Corrosion from condensation can also contribute to deterioration. Replacing the manifold in a timely manner maintains optimal exhaust flow, prevents harmful gas leaks, and aids in maintaining engine performance.
