Description
Air conditioning pipe for CITROËN C4, C4 Picasso and PEUGEOT 307, 3008 with 1.6 HDi engine
This air conditioning (A/C) pipe is a direct-fit replacement for several PSA models equipped with the 1.6 HDi diesel engine. Designed for workshop use and experienced DIYers, the pipe restores refrigerant circulation between A/C components and helps maintain cabin cooling efficiency. Commonly searched by part number 9650200980, this climate line suits technicians who need a reliable repair part to fix leaks or damaged A/C plumbing quickly.
Benefits And Application
Ideal for professional mechanics and car owners performing their own repairs, this A/C pipe offers correct geometry and connection fittings for seamless installation. Replacing a leaking or crushed pipe prevents refrigerant loss, protects the compressor from oil starvation and contamination, and restores system pressure for efficient cooling. Including relevant OEM codes in the listing increases findability for customers searching by part number.
Installation Overview
Replacement requires standard air conditioning service procedures. Steps typically include: recovering refrigerant with certified recovery equipment, removing deteriorated clamps and seals, replacing the damaged pipe and all associated O-rings/seals, performing a vacuum to remove moisture and air, and recharging the system to the correct refrigerant charge. After reassembly, verify system pressure and perform a leak check. Use appropriate A/C oil type and quantity as specified for the vehicle’s A/C compressor.
Technical Information
- Manufacturer: Stellantis / Citroën / Peugeot
- Model: Citroën C4, Citroën C4 Picasso, Peugeot 307, Peugeot 3008 (1.6 HDi)
- Product Codes: 9650200980
- Other Numbers: 6460LZ, 6460XP, 9656859180, 6477D4
Installation Recommendations
- Work Should Be Performed By A Trained Technician Or An Experienced DIYer With Proper Tools.
- Always Recover Refrigerant First Using Approved Equipment; Never Release Refrigerant To Atmosphere.
- Replace All O-Rings And Seals At The Same Time Using Correct Size And Lubricant.
- Evacuate The System To Achieve Proper Vacuum And Remove Moisture Before Recharging.
- Check For Contamination Or Compressor Damage — If The Compressor Is Contaminated, Flush The System Or Replace Affected Components.
Most Common Reasons For Failure
Air conditioning pipes typically fail due to corrosion (especially in regions with road salt), physical damage from road debris or improper routing, degraded O-rings and seals that lead to slow leaks, and mechanical stress where hoses and metal lines meet. Poor previous repairs or overtightened fittings can also deform connections and cause leaks. Timely replacement of leaking lines prevents compressor damage and more costly repairs.
Compatibility And Fitment Notes
Fits specified Citroën and Peugeot models with the 1.6 HDi engine that use the listed OEM part numbers. Listing the part and cross-reference numbers helps mechanics find the correct replacement quickly. Always inspect the mating connections and related components (condenser, evaporator, compressor) when replacing A/C lines.
Final Notes
When replacing A/C plumbing, proper evacuation and recharge are essential for system longevity and performance. Use professional-grade service equipment and follow manufacturer procedures for safe and effective installation.
