Description
Door handle for right front, right rear and left rear doors for Citroën C4 and C6, Peugeot 407. Color EZQ – Manitoba Grey paint.
This exterior door handle is designed for direct replacement on a range of Citroën and Peugeot models. Built to match the original exterior appearance, the unit carries the manufacturer colour code EZQ (Manitoba Grey) and product identifiers 9101ER / EZQC, making it suitable for bodywork repairs, accident replacements and restoration projects. Ideal for professional workshops and competent DIY mechanics who require a precise fit and factory-style finish.
Features and Benefits
- Perfect Visual Match: Painted to EZQ (Manitoba Grey) to blend with factory finishes.
- Direct Fit: Designed to replace original handles on specified models without body modification.
- OEM-Style Operation: Restores correct opening action and ergonomics of the original handle.
- Cost-Effective Repair: Replace only the damaged component instead of replacing entire door assemblies.
How It Works
The exterior door handle operates the internal latch mechanism via a mechanical linkage or rod (and, on some variants, in combination with an electronic locking actuator). Pulling the handle transfers force to the latch to release the door catch. A properly fitted handle ensures smooth opening, correct alignment with the lock cylinder and secure seating to prevent wind noise and water ingress.
Replacement Guide
General replacement steps (typical for Citroën/Peugeot front and rear doors):
- Remove the inner door trim and any vapor barrier carefully to access the handle mounting area.
- Disconnect the mechanical linkage/rods and any electrical connector if equipped with a lock/unlock sensor.
- Unscrew or unclip the handle fastenings from the door shell and withdraw the old unit.
- Install the new handle, ensuring correct seating of gaskets/seals and secure fastening to the door.
- Reconnect linkage/connectors, test mechanical operation and lock/unlock function, then refit door trim.
Recommended For: Experienced technicians or competent DIYers. Keep fasteners and clips in good condition and replace any brittle plastic retainers during installation.

Installation Recommendations
- Use correct trim tools to avoid damaging door cards and clips.

- After installation, check door locking/unlocking from both remote and manual operation to ensure full functionality.
Most Common Reasons For Failure
Exterior door handles typically fail due to mechanical fatigue and localized stress on plastic components, impact damage from collisions or vandalism, corrosion of metal parts or binding caused by worn linkages and lack of lubrication. Painted handles may also suffer from paint chipping or abrasion over time, especially in high-contact areas.
Notes For Buyers
Many customers search for this part by product code (9101ER / EZQC). Ensure the color code and model fitment match your vehicle requirements before purchase. Suited for both professional repair shops and experienced DIY enthusiasts performing panel or latch repairs.
