Description
Door stop – front door limiter for Citroën C1 and Peugeot 107. Five-door model.
This replacement front door stop (door limiter) is designed for the five-door versions of the Citroën C1 and Peugeot 107. It controls the opening range of the front door, holds the door in intermediate positions and prevents it from swinging freely on slopes or in wind. A robust and compact component, it is essential for safe, quiet and precise door operation — a common maintenance item in garage and DIY repairs.
Compatibility
Fits front doors on Citroën C1 and Peugeot 107 five-door models. Frequently referenced by part number 9181T8 (and related B0 00760080), the unit is commonly sought under these codes by mechanics and DIY enthusiasts.
Function And Benefits
- Limits door opening angle and secures the door in intermediate positions.
- Reduces stress on door hinges and body mounts by controlling door travel.
- Improves safety when entering/exiting the vehicle on slopes or in windy conditions.
- Quick to replace and restores correct door feel and positioning.
Replacement Procedure
Replacement is straightforward for a competent mechanic or DIYer with basic tools. Typical steps:
- Open the door to access the door stop. Support the door if necessary to avoid sudden movement.
- Remove any trim or cover caps concealing the mounting fasteners (Torx or hex screws commonly used).
- Unscrew the old limiter from the body and from the door mounting bracket. Keep track of washers and bolts.
- Fit the new limiter in the same orientation, tighten fasteners to the manufacturer’s torque where available, and check door movement through full travel.
- Reinstall any trim or caps and test door operation several times to ensure smooth engagement of detents.
Typical Lifespan And Symptoms
Door stoppers typically last many years but wear depends on usage, exposure to dirt, moisture and mechanical strain. Common failure symptoms include:
- Door not holding in intermediate positions or sliding past detents.
- Grinding or rough feel when moving the door.
- Loose or noisy door movement, rattles from the hinge area.

Installation Recommendations
- Use correct-size sockets or Torx bits to avoid rounding fasteners.
- If available, refer to the factory torque settings for door stop fasteners; tighten progressively and check alignment.
- Clean mating surfaces and remove corrosion before fitting the new part to ensure proper seating.
- Lubricate the pivot contact lightly with suitable grease if the design allows, avoiding excess that can attract dirt.
- After installation, operate the door through full range and verify it latches and holds as intended.
Why This Part Most Commonly Fails
Failure is usually caused by wear and contamination of the internal detent mechanism or pivot, corrosion from road salt and moisture, or mechanical overload from slamming or forcing the door beyond its stops. Over time the detent surfaces flatten or the return spring weakens, resulting in loss of holding positions and noisy or uncontrolled door movement.
