Product Overview

This filter box is designed specifically for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles equipped with 1.6 HDI engines. It fits a variety of models including Citroën C3, C4 Picasso, Berlingo and Peugeot 206, 207, 208, 308, 407, 508, and Partner.

Function and Importance

The filter box plays a crucial role in protecting the engine by filtering incoming air before it enters the combustion chamber. It prevents dust, dirt, and other contaminants from damaging engine components. Over time, these filter boxes can degrade or become damaged due to heat cycles and debris exposure, leading to reduced engine efficiency and potential air leaks.

Replacement and Maintenance

Replacing the filter box is generally straightforward but requires careful removal of the old box and secure installation of the new unit to maintain airtight sealing. It is recommended to inspect the filter box during routine air filter replacements or when experiencing decreased engine responsiveness or unusual air intake noises.
