Product Description
The Air Mass Sensor for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles with 1.4 and 1.6 HDI engines is a vital component responsible for measuring the amount of air entering the engine. Accurate airflow measurement allows the engine control unit to adjust fuel injection accordingly, improving fuel efficiency, reducing emissions, and ensuring smooth engine performance.
This sensor typically fits models equipped with PSA engines that use product codes 9650010780, 1920GV, and 1920LC. It directly impacts the combustion process by providing real-time data about the intake air volume and density.
The Air Mass Sensor is usually mounted in the intake air duct between the air filter and the turbocharger (or intake manifold). Replacing this part involves disconnecting the electrical connector and unscrewing the sensor housing. Regular inspection is recommended as buildup of dirt or wear can cause inaccurate readings, which may lead to poor fuel economy, engine hesitation, or stalling.
