Description
Product Description
This Throttle Body is designed specifically for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles equipped with 1.8i, 1.8 16V, 2.0i, and 2.0 16V engines. It controls airflow into the engine’s intake manifold, directly influencing engine responsiveness, fuel efficiency, and overall performance. A malfunctioning throttle body may cause poor acceleration, rough idling, or engine stalling.
Maintenance and Replacement
Throttle bodies can deteriorate over time due to carbon buildup, wear on the electronic components, or mechanical damage. Replacement is typically required after 80,000 to 120,000 kilometers depending on driving conditions. Replacing the throttle body involves disconnecting the air intake hose, electrical connectors, and unbolting the old throttle body from the intake manifold, then installing the new one in reverse order. It is recommended to clean the surrounding area before installation to prevent contamination.
