Description
Throttle, throttle body
Original throttle valve for Citroën and Peugeot cars with codes 9640796280 and 1635R8. It is a throttle body (intake valve) that regulates the air supply to the engine and directly affects idling, acceleration and consumption. A suitable solution if your car is experiencing idle fluctuations, loss of power or throttle-related crash.
Functions and typical defects: The throttle valve (often electronically controlled with an integrated position sensor) adjusts the amount of air entering the intake. Common causes of problems are carbon fouling, wear of the position potentiometer, ingress of dirt or a leak in the intake tract. Symptoms include erratic idle, jerking, delayed throttle response, and throttle position related error codes.
Assembly and recommendations: When replacing, disconnect the battery, remove the suction hose, connector(s) and flap fixing screws. Check the condition of the gasket between the valve and the intake manifold – we recommend using a new gasket and checking the cleanliness of the intake tract. After installation, it is advisable to carry out the basic adjustment/calibration of the damper via diagnostics (e.g. Lexia/PP2000/DiagBox) and verify that there are no false air intakes in the system.
Compatibility: Refer primarily to OEM codes 9640796280 and 1635R8. This part is used in selected versions of Citroën and Peugeot models; typically in smaller and compact cars with petrol engines. Always verify the match by VIN and part number on the original flap. Frequently asked questions about this code refer to models such as Citroën C2, C3, C3 Pluriel and Peugeot 206/206+ – the specific use depends on the motorization and year of manufacture.
