Part description

Used engine cover for Citroën/Peugeot cars, designed to cover the top of the engine and protect selected components from dirt. At the same time, it helps to keep the engine compartment smooth and typically contributes to the reduction of mechanical noise and vibration (depending on the design).

The part is often searched for by OEM/product numbers, so we list the available designations in the description: 9655202180, 963936480, 0248L5, 025084.

Installation recommendations

Generally/typically for an engine cover it is a quick change, but the exact fit may vary depending on the specific design of the car and engine.

1) Before assembly

• Compare the new and original cover: shape, cutouts, seating surfaces, type and number of fixing points.
• Check for cracks, broken edges and damaged handles.
• Verify the match according to the part codes (9655202180 / 963936480 / 0248L5 / 025084), if you also have them listed on the old part.
• Check the condition of the rubber silent blocks/mounts (if they are part of the cover) and any plastic nuts/screws.

2) Necessary tools and materials

• Basic set of bits and socket heads (according to the type of fastening)
• Flat/trim tool for plastic clips (if used)
• Cleaning agent and cloth for contact surfaces
• Engine compartment light

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Allow the engine to cool and secure the vehicle against movement.
2. If the cover is already installed, loosen all fasteners (bolts/nuts/clips) in sequence to prevent the cover from deforming.
3. Remove the cover carefully – do not pull it with force, it may be seated in the rubber seats.
4. Clean the seating areas and check that there are no inserts or rubber mounts missing in the attachment points.
5. Prepare the used cover: clean it, check all the fasteners and, if necessary, move the usable elements from the old piece (if they are separate and identical).
6. Place the cover in the correct position and first only slightly seat it in the seat/on the mandrels.
7. Align the attachment points so that the cover sits straight and does not stretch anywhere.
8. Start fixing the elements by hand (or just lightly) and only then gradually tighten them.
9. Check that the cover does not rub against the surrounding parts anywhere and that nothing is squeaking.
10. Perform a visual inspection around the entire enclosure.
• 4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification
  • Start the engine and observe if the cover vibrates or knocks.
  • After a short ride, recheck the fit and attachment points.
  • If resonance occurs, the cause is usually a missing/damaged bearing or an undertightened attachment.

  5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them

  • Assembly “by force” → always align the cover first, then tighten it.
  • Missing rubber mount/clip → leads to vibrations and plastic cracking; check for completeness before assembly.
  • Pulling the plastic fasteners → can pull off the thread or crack the cover; tighten with feeling.

  Reasons why the part is damaged

  • Plastic cracking due to heat, old material and engine vibrations.
  • Missing/hardened rubber mount – the cover gets knocked more and gradually gets damaged.
  • Mechanical damage during service operations in the engine compartment (tool leaning, impact).
  • Contact with aggressive chemicals (unsuitable cleaners) can accelerate plastic embrittlement.
