Description
Air connection at the intercooler for Citroën and Peugeot 2.0 HDI. Removed from Citroën C5 RHR.
Description
This genuine used charge-air/intercooler connection hose is intended for 2.0 HDi turbo diesel engines fitted to Citroën and Peugeot models. Supplied from a Citroën C5 with engine code RHR, the part connects the intercooler outlet to the intake plumbing and carries pressurised boost air from the turbocharger through the intercooler to the engine intake. Often searched by product code 0382FJ, it is a direct-fit replacement for vehicles using the same layout and engine variant.
Technical Information
- Manufacturer: Stellantis / Citroën / Peugeot
- Model: Citroën C5 (RHR), Peugeot 407 (2.0 HDi)
- Product Codes: 0382FJ
- Additional Numbers: Not Available

How To Replace
- Allow The Engine To Cool Completely Before Work.
- Remove Any Engine Covers Or Intake Ducting Obstructing Access To The Intercooler Hose.
- Loosen The Clamps Securing The Hose At Both Ends. If Clamps Are Damaged Or Corroded, Replace Them.
- Carefully Detach Any Vacuum Or Sensor Lines Attached To The Hose Assembly.
- Withdraw The Old Hose, Inspect The Mating Pipes For Corrosion, Sharp Edges Or Oil Build-Up And Clean If Necessary.
- Install The New Hose Ensuring Full Seating On The Pipes. Fit New Clamps And Tighten Until Secure—Avoid Over-Tightening Which Can Cut The Hose.
- Start The Engine And Check For Boost Leaks At Idle And Under Light Load. Road-Test To Confirm Proper Boost Delivery.
Installation Recommendations
- Use New Clamps (T-Bolt Or High-Quality Worm-Drive Clamps) To Ensure A Reliable Seal.
- Inspect Adjacent Components (Turbo Outlet, Intercooler Pipes, Vacuum Lines) For Oil Contamination Or Damage And Replace If Necessary.
- Ensure Hose Is Routed Without Twists, Kinks Or Contact With Hot Surfaces That Could Accelerate Degradation.
- Check That All Sensor And Vacuum Connections Are Reattached Correctly After Installation.
- After Installation, Perform A Leak Check Under Boost To Verify Integrity.
Most Common Failure Reasons
- Aging And Material Fatigue: Rubber And Silicone Hoses Harden And Crack Over Time, Leading To Split Seams Or Perforations.
- Heat And Vibration: Prolonged Exposure To High Under-Bonnet Temperatures And Engine Vibration Causes Accelerated Wear.
- Oil Contamination: Turbocharger Blow-By Or Oil Leaks Soften Hose Material, Causing Swelling And Weakening.
- Poor Clamping Or Loose Connections: Insufficient Clamping Can Lead To Air Leaks Under Boost.
- Impact Or Abrasion: Contact With Adjacent Components Can Abrade The Hose Wall.
Additional Notes
Charge-air hoses are critical for maintaining correct boost pressure and engine performance. A leaking hose can produce turbo lag, reduced power, increased fuel consumption, and check-engine faults related to boost pressure. When replacing, prefer an exact-shape equivalent and inspect the complete intake tract for secondary damage. The part number 0382FJ is frequently used by mechanics and DIYers when searching for the correct replacement.
