Description
Product Overview
This turbo air intake connection (air feed pipe) is designed for PSA Citroën and Peugeot 2.0 HDI engines with the RHR engine code. The part originates from a Peugeot 807 RHR and is also compatible with Citroën C8 and other vehicles using the same engine specification. It provides a reliable air path into the turbocharger to preserve boost response, reduce turbo lag and maintain engine efficiency.
Function And Common Failure Modes
The pipe channels intake air from the airbox or intercooler to the turbocharger. Over time the component can suffer from cracking, splits, heat ageing, oil contamination or clamp failures, which lead to boost leaks. Typical symptoms of a failing intake pipe include loss of power, poor throttle response, audible hissing or whistling under boost, and occasionally a fault code related to boost pressure or turbo performance.
Replacement And Installation Guidance
There is no fixed service interval for this part; replacement is recommended when damage, deformation or oil saturation is observed, or during turbocharger servicing. General replacement steps for a professional mechanic or competent DIYer:
- Allow the engine to cool and, if fitted, disconnect the battery if required by vehicle procedures.
- Relieve intake pressure and remove any engine covers or components obstructing access to the pipe.
- Loosen and remove clamps or quick-connects, disconnect any attached vacuum lines or sensors, and withdraw the old pipe.
- Inspect mating surfaces, hose ends and clamps; clean or replace seals as necessary.
- Fit the replacement pipe ensuring correct orientation and full seating, then tighten clamps evenly to secure sealing. Reconnect any lines or sensors.
- Start the engine and perform a visual and boost-pressure check to confirm there are no leaks and correct turbo operation.

Why Choose This Part
This intake pipe is a practical choice for mechanics and experienced DIYers seeking a direct-fit replacement for 2.0 HDI RHR engines. Installing a sound intake pipe restores proper turbo airflow, improves driveability and helps avoid further turbocharger or intercooler stress. Always verify compatibility with your vehicle VIN or engine code before ordering.
