Description
Catalyst and FAP 1.6 HDI Citroen Peugeot
The catalyst and FAP (DPF) heat shield for 1.6 HDI engines is used to protect the surrounding parts and bodywork from radiant heat from the exhaust system. Thanks to accurately shaping and attaching to exhaust components, it dissipates heat from the catalyst and particulate filter, reduces the risk of overheating plastic parts, cabling and brake lines and helps reduce noise and vibration. Suitable for Citroën and Peugeot with 1.6 HDI and FAP engine, identification according to OE codes 9661522880 and 1723T3.
Typical manifestations of damaged or missing heat shield are knocking and resonance from under the car, odor of overheated materials around the tunnel, local damage to cabling or cuffs, or impaired comfort in the cab due to higher temperature. The cause is the corrosion of sheet metal, exhaust vibration, torn handles or improper disassembly. Early shield replacement protects expensive components (catalyst, FAP, sensors, hoses) and precedes subsequent damage.
Installation is usually a direct confusion: after lifting and securing the vehicle, allow the exhaust to cool, clean the bearing surfaces and threads, check the brackets and use suitable fasteners. Settle the shield without stress and tighten evenly to avoid vibration or contact with rotating or hot parts. We recommend verifying compatibility by OE code and VIN car – unlike universal solutions, the right shield has a precise guidance around the catalyst and FAP.
This episode is especially suitable for popular and personal Citroën and Peugeot personal models with 1.6 HDI (DV6) and fixed particle filter. Thanks to the factory shape and mounting, the mounting is fast and results in functional temperature insulation of the exhaust branch with a long life.
