Description
Upper timing cover for Citroën and Peugeot 1.6 HDi vehicles.
This upper timing cover is a direct-fit protection component designed for a range of Citroën and Peugeot models equipped with the 1.6 HDi engine. It protects the timing belt area from dirt, water and mechanical damage, helping to maintain correct belt routing and prolong the life of timing components. Part numbers commonly referenced for this cover include 9651560180 and 0320T6, making it easy to find in catalogs or when searching by product code.
Ideal For Professional Mechanics And Competent DIYers — The cover is made to OEM-style specifications for fit and function. It is especially useful when replacing the timing belt, tensioners or camshaft seals, or when damage to the original plastic cover (cracks, broken mounting tabs) compromises protection. Replacing a damaged cover reduces the risk of foreign objects contacting the timing belt and reduces moisture ingress that can accelerate wear.
