Camshaft operation - Reduces engine knocking and improves
Combustion Chamber efficiency Detailed Description: The intake valve (also known as the inlet valve) is a critical element in the four-stroke cycle of an internal combustion engine. It opens during the intake stroke to allow the air-fuel mixture—typically a blend of gasoline and atmospheric oxygen—to enter the combustion chamber. Once the piston moves upward during the compression stroke, the valve closes tightly to maintain pressure for efficient ignition. This valve operates in perfect coordination with the exhaust valve, which manages the release of spent gases post-combustion. Both valves are actuated by the camshaft via lifters or rocker arms, ensuring synchronized opening and closing intervals based on engine RPM and load conditions. The 0948.65 intake valve is crafted from heat-resistant alloys such as stainless steel or nickel-based superalloys, making it ideal for modern turbocharged and naturally aspirated engines alike. Its design minimizes friction, reduces valve seat erosion, and maintains consistent sealing under high-pressure conditions—an essential feature for long-term reliability. Use Cases: Ideal for automotive repair shops, DIY mechanics, and vehicle owners seeking reliable replacements for worn or damaged intake valves. Suitable for use in PEUGEOT models like the 206, 307, and Citroën C5, C4, and Xsara series. This part is especially beneficial for drivers experiencing reduced engine power, misfires, or increased fuel consumption due to poor valve sealing or improper airflow management. It also supports performance tuning efforts where optimized intake efficiency can lead to measurable gains in torque and responsiveness. Customer Feedback: Users consistently report improved throttle response and smoother idling after installation. One mechanic noted, “The fitment was exact, and the valve’s durability exceeded expectations—even after 50,000 miles of highway driving.” Another owner praised its compatibility with older engine designs, stating, “No more hesitation on startup—this valve restored my Citroën’s original performance.” Frequently Asked Questions: What is the difference between an intake valve and an exhaust valve? While both regulate gas flow into and out of the combustion chamber, the intake valve controls the entry of the air-fuel mixture, whereas the exhaust valve releases burned gases post-combustion. They operate at different timings within the engine cycle and are made from materials suited to their respective temperature and pressure environments. Is this valve compatible with all PEUGEOT and CITROEN engines? This 0948.65 intake valve is designed for specific engine variants used in select PEUGEOT and CITROEN models. Always verify your engine code or consult a service manual before installation to ensure proper fitment and function. How often should I replace my intake valve? Intake valves typically last 100,000+ miles under normal driving conditions. However, signs such as loss of compression, poor acceleration, or visible carbon buildup may indicate premature wear requiring inspection or replacement.
