Before assembly, it is advisable to check the conformity of the catalog numbers with the original part and the physical design (shape, handles, diameter of hose and pipe connections). The correct alignment of the resonator with the intake manifold ensures the tightness of the system and the correct function of the measurement of the intake air.
Installation recommendations:
– Carry out assembly on a cold engine to avoid damage to plastic parts or injury.
– Before removing the old part, make a note or take a picture of the intake, hoses and brackets arrangement so that the new part fits exactly the same.
– Check all connecting surfaces, hoses and clips – worn or cracked hoses or damaged clips should be replaced immediately.
– Make sure that the sealing surfaces are seated correctly so that the suction is completely tight and no false air is sucked in.
– After assembly, check that the resonator does not rub against the bodywork or other components anywhere and that it is firmly fixed in all holders.
– After starting the engine, listen for any unusual intake sounds and visually check for air leaks at the joints.
The used original part from Citroën and Peugeot cars is a suitable choice for car mechanics and DIYers who are looking for a functional and cost-effective solution to repair the intake system for 1.4 VTI 70 kW 8FS engines. Thanks to the exact original design, the compatibility of the attachment, cross-sections and overall layout of the intake system is ensured.
