Description
This water hose is a direct-fit coolant hose intended for PSA 1.6 HDi diesel engines used on Citroën and Peugeot vehicles. Supplied with the common OEM references 9681299480 and 1317R8, it provides a reliable replacement when the original hose shows wear, cracking or leakage. Ideal for professional mechanics and competent DIYers who service cooling systems and need a correct-part swap by product code.
Key Benefits
- Direct-fit replacement for PSA 1.6 HDi applications when part numbers match.
- Constructed from durable coolant-grade materials to withstand engine bay temperatures and pressure cycles.
- Restores proper coolant flow and helps prevent overheating and loss of heat in the cabin heating circuit.
- Easy identification by OEM codes 9681299480 and 1317R8 for accurate ordering.
Replacement Procedure
Recommended basic steps for replacing the coolant hose:
- Allow the engine to cool completely and safely drain the coolant to a level below the hose connection points.
- Loosen and remove hose clamps or quick-release fittings and detach the old hose. Inspect surrounding components for corrosion or damage.
- Compare the new hose with the removed part to confirm orientation and length, then fit the new hose in place.
- Secure with suitable clamps; replace old clamps if corroded or deformed. Ensure clamps sit squarely on the hose bead.
- Refill the cooling system with the correct coolant mixture, then bleed air from the system following the vehicle manufacturer’s procedure (bleed screws or by running the engine to thermostat opening as appropriate).
- Check for leaks with the engine at operating temperature and re-check coolant level after a short test drive.
Common Failure Modes & Maintenance
Hoses typically fail due to age-related degradation, heat cycling, contamination (oil or fuel), chemical attack from incorrect coolant or additives, or clamp failure. Inspect hoses at every service interval, and look for soft spots, cracks, bulging, hardening, or weeping at connections. For many vehicles, hoses are commonly replaced during major services or when symptoms appear; typical replacement intervals vary but many technicians consider inspection or replacement around 80,000–150,000 km depending on vehicle use and environment.
