Description
Exhaust gas extraction pipe for 1.6 16V engines for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles.
Product Overview
This EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) pipe is designed for 1.6 16V engines used in a range of Citroën and Peugeot models. The pipe routes a portion of exhaust gases back into the intake tract to reduce NOx emissions and stabilise combustion. It is a practical replacement part for workshops and experienced DIY mechanics who service Peugeot/Citroën petrol engines.
Key Benefits
- Restores correct EGR flow and helps eliminate related drivability issues (rough idle, loss of power, hesitation).
- Direct-fit design for models listed in the compatibility section — simplifies installation and reduces downtime.
- Improves long-term engine performance by ensuring proper gas recirculation and emission control.

Installation Recommendations
Replacement of the EGR pipe generally requires moderate mechanical skill and common hand tools. Typical procedure:
- Work Safely: Disconnect the battery before starting work to avoid electrical faults and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s safety instructions.
- Access: Remove any engine covers or intake plumbing that obstructs access to the EGR pipe between the exhaust manifold/EGR valve and the intake/exhaust recirculation port.
- Remove: Loosen and remove clamps and fasteners securing the pipe. Carefully separate flanges and remove the old gaskets.
- Inspect: Check mating surfaces for carbon build-up or damage. Clean sealing faces and ports; replace gaskets with new parts to ensure a tight seal.
- Fit New Pipe: Install the replacement pipe, hand-tighten fasteners, then torque to the manufacturer’s specifications. Refit any removed components.
- Final Steps: Reconnect the battery, start the engine and check for leaks. Clear any related fault codes and run a functional check — verify idle quality and absence of exhaust/EGR-related error codes.
Reason Why The Part Most Commonly Fails
The most common causes of EGR pipe failure are:
- Carbon Build-Up: Soot and carbon deposits accumulate inside the pipe over time, restricting flow and causing functional faults.
- Thermal Stress And Cracking: Repeated heating and cooling cycles can lead to metal fatigue, cracks or deformation at joints and flanges.
- Gasket Deterioration: Sealing surfaces and gaskets degrade, leading to leaks that cause loss of EGR function and possible intake contamination.
Typical symptoms include reduced engine response, rough idle, increased emissions, visible exhaust smell in the engine bay or stored fault codes related to EGR flow (e.g., insufficient/erratic flow). Depending on driving conditions, carbon-related issues may appear from around 80,000–150,000 km, but this varies widely with service history and driving style.
