This sensor is compatible with various Citroën and Peugeot models, including the Citroën C3 Picasso, Peugeot 2008 I, and Peugeot Partner Tepee, typically with 1.6L engines. Always verify fitment for your specific vehicle.
The camshaft position sensor tells the engine control unit (ECU) the position of the camshaft, which is crucial for synchronizing ignition timing and fuel injection, ensuring smooth engine operation.
Common symptoms include a rough idle, difficulty starting the engine, stalling, poor acceleration, and the illumination of the Check Engine Light.
Yes, the sensor comes supplied with a seal ring, which should always be used during installation to ensure a proper seal and protect against environmental elements.
While possible for those with automotive experience, professional installation by a qualified mechanic is recommended to ensure correct fitment and function.
OE-quality parts are manufactured to meet the same standards as the original components, ensuring reliable performance, exact fitment, and durability comparable to the original equipment.
Ensure all connections are secure and the correct part was installed. The fault codes may need to be cleared by an OBD-II scanner. If the light persists, there may be another issue with the engine management system.
Verify the sensor is correctly installed and the electrical connector is securely attached. Ensure the wiring harness is not damaged. If these are intact, the sensor itself may be faulty and require replacement.
Double-check that the correct part number was installed and that the vehicle's ECU has cleared the fault codes. Inspect for other potential engine management issues or vacuum leaks that could mimic sensor problems.
Carefully use penetrating oil if the sensor is seized. Avoid excessive force that could damage the engine housing. Ensure the mounting bolt is fully removed.
Compatibility Verification: Before installation, it is crucial to verify that part number 6PU 009 168-391 is the correct replacement for your specific vehicle. Check your vehicle's make, model, year, engine size, and consult a parts catalog or mechanic if unsure.
Installation: Installation typically involves locating the camshaft position sensor on the engine, disconnecting the electrical connector, removing the mounting bolt, and carefully extracting the old sensor. The new Hella sensor, along with the included seal ring, should then be installed in the reverse order. Ensure the new sensor is seated correctly and the seal is properly positioned to prevent moisture ingress. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified technician.
Care: This is a sealed electronic component. Avoid exposing the sensor and its connector to excessive moisture, dirt, or harsh chemicals. Regular engine bay cleaning should be done carefully around the sensor area. No specific maintenance is required for the sensor itself; its function is critical to engine management.
