Description
Cylinder head cover, valve cover 1.6 8V HDI for CITROEN and PEUGEOT cars
Part description
The used valve cover 1.6 HDI 8V is an important part of the engine that closes the upper part of the cylinder head and helps protect the valve train from dirt and oil leakage. This part is also searched by product numbers 9688939180, 9689112980 and 0248S0.
In practice, it is a part that is often changed when a leak is detected, the sealing surfaces are damaged or when the original piece is mechanically worn. For mechanics and home repairmen, it is especially important to carefully compare with the dismantled part, especially according to shape, attachment and marking.
The product is intended for Citroën and Peugeot cars, while the available materials include models such as CITROEN BERLINGO III, Citroen C4 II, Citroën C4 PICASSO, PEUGEOT 3008 I, Peugeot 308, PEUGEOT 5008 I and Peugeot Partner Tepee.

Installation recommendations
Generally/typically for the valve cover, the exact replacement procedure may vary depending on the specific engine and car design. Below is a practical general procedure for this type of part.
1) Before assembly
- Check that the used lid has no cracks, deformations or damaged contact surfaces.
- Compare the new and original piece by shape, hole location, fit and product numbers.
- Inspect the condition of the sealing surface and any attached parts if they are part of the part.
- Before assembly, thoroughly clean the surroundings so that dirt does not get into the engine.
2) Necessary tools and materials
- A common set of hand tools
- Tools for gentle disassembly of covers and hoses
- Cleaning agent suitable for degreasing contact surfaces
- Clean rags or shop towels
- New gasket if the design of the part requires it
3) Step-by-step assembly procedure
- Shut off the engine and let it cool down.
- Remove covers or other parts that prevent access to the valve cover.
- Disconnect all elements that are attached to the lid and that must be released before disassembly.
- Gradually loosen the lid fasteners so as not to strain or twist the lid.
- Remove the original cover and check the condition of the bearing surface on the motor.
- Remove the remains of the old gasket and carefully clean the contact surfaces.
- Compare the used lid with the old one and verify that all holes and fittings match.
- Install the gasket in the correct manner if it is a separable part of the structure.
- Place the lid in place so that it fits properly without crossing or forcing it into place.
- Tighten the fasteners gradually and evenly so that the lid fits over the entire surface.
- Reconnect all removed hoses, connectors and covers.
- Perform a visual inspection to make sure nothing is left loose or poorly seated.
-
4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification
- After starting, check for oil leakage around the lid.
- Listen to verify that there are no unusual vibrations or hums caused by improper seating of surrounding parts after assembly.
- After a short test drive, perform a visual leak check again.
- Check that all disconnected and reconnected elements are correctly in place.
5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them
- Insufficiently cleaned seating surface – causes poor seating and subsequent leakage.
- Assembly without a thorough comparison of the part – may lead to problems with attachment or connection of surrounding parts.
- Uneven tightening – increases the risk of lid deformation or leakage.
- Overlooking minor damage to the used part – even a small crack or damaged edge can cause an oil leak after assembly.
- Temperature stress – long-term alternation of high and low temperatures can lead to material fatigue.
- Mechanical damage during disassembly or assembly – especially during careless release or incorrect seating.
- Deformation of the bearing surfaces – can cause a leak and the subsequent need for replacement.
- Aging of sealing parts – leads to oil leaks and deterioration of the tightness of the unit.
- Pollution and long-term operation – deposits and normal wear and tear can affect the functionality and service life of the lid.
