Compatibility And Engine Fitment
Fits petrol 1.4 16V VTI and 1.4 KFT engines used across the listed Citroën and Peugeot models. Always verify engine type and part number before ordering to ensure exact match with your vehicle’s configuration.
Function And Typical Faults
The throttle body regulates the volume of air entering the intake manifold, working together with the throttle position sensor (TPS) and the engine control unit (ECU) to manage idle, acceleration and fuel/air mixture. Common symptoms of a failing throttle body include uneven idle, hesitation under load, reduced power, surging, limp-home mode and diagnostic trouble codes related to throttle position or air intake.
Why The Part Most Commonly Fails
- Carbon and soot buildup on the throttle plate and bore causing sticking and incorrect airflow.
- Wear or failure of the throttle position sensor or electronic actuator (in drive-by-wire systems).
- Contaminated intake air or oil vapors from a failing PCV system accelerating deposits.
- Electrical faults such as connector corrosion, broken wires or intermittent signals.
Installation Recommendations
- Prepare basic tools: Torx/sockets for throttle housing bolts, screwdrivers, torque wrench and suitable cleaning materials.
- Before starting, disconnect the negative battery terminal and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s safety procedure.
- Remove intake hose and any obstructing components, unplug electrical connector and vacuum lines, then unbolt the throttle body from the intake manifold.
- Inspect and replace the throttle body gasket/seal if necessary. Clean the mating surfaces before fitting the new unit.
- Install new throttle body, tighten bolts to the manufacturer’s torque specifications and reconnect electrical and vacuum lines.
- After installation, clear throttle adaptations and perform a throttle/idle relearn procedure using a diagnostic tool (DiagBox/Lexia/PP2000) or follow the factory service manual procedure. Professional diagnostic equipment is recommended for reliable adaptation.
- Check for intake leaks and proper operation before completing the job. Road-test the vehicle to confirm restored performance.
Notes For Mechanics And DIYers
Part numbers 9685879480 and 163667 are commonly used when searching for this throttle body—include them in your search to find compatible listings. Regular inspection and intake cleaning can prolong throttle body life. If electrical faults are suspected, test the TPS and actuator with proper diagnostic equipment before replacing the entire assembly.
Order this throttle body to regain smooth idle and accurate throttle response on Citroën and Peugeot 1.4 16V VTI / 1.4 KFT engines. Fast shipping and clear part numbers make this an efficient repair choice for workshops and independent mechanics.
