Description
This throttle body 1.0 is designed for vehicles equipped with the 1KR engine, including Citroën C1, Peugeot 107, and Toyota Aygo models. It controls the amount of air entering the engine, which is crucial for optimal combustion and engine performance. A malfunctioning throttle body can lead to issues such as rough idling, reduced power, and increased fuel consumption.
Replacing this component is typically straightforward for experienced mechanics or skilled DIY car enthusiasts. It involves disconnecting the air intake hose, electrical connections, and unfastening mounting bolts to remove the old unit, then installing the new throttle body and reconnecting all components. After replacement, it is recommended to reset the engine control unit (ECU) to ensure correct operation.
Throttle bodies can fail due to carbon buildup, wear of internal sensors, or electronic issues. Regular inspection and cleaning can extend its lifespan, but eventual replacement is necessary to maintain engine efficiency and drivability.
