Description
This Timing Cover is designed for Citroën and Peugeot 1.6 HDI engines and carries the original part numbers 9651560180, 9659869380 and 0320T6. It protects the timing train from dirt, moisture and mechanical damage, helping to maintain correct valve timing and engine performance. The item is offered as a used part in good condition and is a practical replacement for technicians and competent DIY enthusiasts.
Function: The timing cover shields critical components such as the timing belt/chain, tensioners and camshaft drive from external contamination and impact. A sound cover prevents ingress of debris that can accelerate wear or cause premature failure of timing components. It also helps retain any engine oil or coolant that could otherwise leak onto the timing system.
Signs Of Wear And Reasons For Replacement: Typical reasons to replace the timing cover include visible cracks, impact damage, warping, oil leaks around the sealing surfaces, or when the cover’s mounting points are deformed. Covers can be affected by heat cycling, oil contamination from leaking seals, or mechanical damage during prior repairs. Inspect the cover whenever the timing belt or chain is serviced.
Installation Notes: Replacement should be carried out by a qualified technician or an experienced DIYer following the factory service manual. Typical steps include disconnecting the battery, removing ancillary components (belt guards, accessory belts, possibly engine mounts depending on vehicle layout), carefully unbolting the old cover and cleaning the mating surfaces. Always replace seals or gaskets and fasteners as required, and use the manufacturer’s torque settings for reassembly. Ensure the timing components remain correctly positioned and secured during the procedure to avoid timing misalignment.
Compatibility: This timing cover is compatible with a range of PSA models fitted with the 1.6 HDI engine, including Citroën Berlingo, C3, C3 Picasso, C4, C4 Picasso, C5 (including C5 X7) and Peugeot 206, 207, 307, 308, 407 and Partner. Confirm fitment by matching the part numbers 9651560180, 9659869380 or 0320T6 with your vehicle’s reference.
