Description
Overview
This Valve Cover is designed for 1.6 HDi engines used on Citroen and Peugeot vehicles. It carries the original part numbers 9651815680 and 0248L1 and includes an integrated pressure/PCV valve to manage crankcase ventilation.
Features & Benefits
- Direct replacement for original PSA parts 9651815680, 0248L1.
- Integrated pressure/PCV valve for controlled crankcase breathing.
- Designed to prevent oil leaks and protect the valve train area.
- Suitable for professional workshops and competent DIY mechanics.
Function
The valve cover seals the top of the cylinder head, protecting camshafts, rocker arms and valves from contaminants while keeping engine oil inside. The built-in pressure/PCV valve routes blow-by gases back to the intake, helping maintain proper crankcase pressure and reduce emissions.
Replacement & Installation
High-level replacement steps: remove the engine cover and any obstructing components, disconnect ventilation hoses, unbolt and remove the old valve cover, clean the sealing surface thoroughly, fit a new gasket and reinstall the cover, tightening bolts to the manufacturer’s torque specifications. Replace associated grommets or hoses if they show wear.
Common Failure Modes
Valve covers commonly fail due to gasket deterioration, material cracking from heat and age, or a clogged/failing PCV valve. Typical symptoms include external oil leaks, increased oil consumption, rough idle or oil in the intake. Timely replacement prevents secondary engine issues and simplifies maintenance.
