Description
Air Intake Resonator 1.4 VTI And 1.6 VTI For Peugeot And Citroën Vehicles
Product Overview
This air intake resonator is designed for 1.4 VTI and 1.6 VTI petrol engines used in a range of Peugeot and Citroën models. The resonator smooths and damps intake-air pulses, reduces induction noise and helps maintain steady airflow into the throttle body. It Is A Direct Replacement Component Often Sought By Part Number (9683339380 / 1436Q7 / 1436V3), Making It Ideal For Professional Workshops And DIY Enthusiasts Looking For A Reliable Intake-tract Repair.
Fitment And Compatibility
Designed To Fit Vehicles Equipped With 1.4 VTI And 1.6 VTI Engines From The Stellantis Group. Common Applications Include:
- Citroën C3 II
- Citroën C3 Picasso
- DS3
- Peugeot 207
- Peugeot 208
Why Replace The Resonator?
Over Time The Resonator Can Develop Cracks, Splits Or Detach From Hoses And Mounts Due To Heat Cycling, Vibration And Ageing Of Rubber Components. A Damaged Resonator Causes Increased Intake Noise (Whistling Or Hissing), Reduced Throttle Response And Irregular Idle. Replacing A Faulty Resonator Restores Proper Airflow Characteristics And Reduces Unwanted Induction Noise.
