Description

Product Overview

The throttle body 9652682880 1635W8 is designed for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles equipped with 1.8i, 1.8 16V, 2.0i, and 2.0 16V petrol engines. This component regulates the air intake to the engine, ensuring optimal combustion and engine performance. A precise throttle body is essential for maintaining smooth engine idling, better acceleration response, and fuel efficiency.

Function and Importance

The throttle body controls the amount of air entering the engine’s intake manifold. When you press the accelerator pedal, the throttle plate inside this body opens accordingly, allowing more air to mix with fuel. If this part malfunctions, it can cause rough idling, poor fuel economy, loss of power, or even engine stalling.

Replacement and Maintenance

Replacing the throttle body is relatively straightforward but requires careful handling to avoid damage to the delicate throttle plate and sensors. Typically, the component is fixed to the intake manifold with bolts and connected via electrical connectors for the throttle position sensor and idle air control. It is recommended to clean the throttle body regularly to prevent carbon buildup that can lead to sticking or improper operation. Failure of this part is often linked to dirt accumulation, sensor malfunctions, or wear over time, usually observed between 80,000 to 150,000 kilometers depending on driving conditions.
