The air intake of Peugeot 408 is located in the engine compartment. Below is relevant information about Peugeot 408: 1. Introduction: Peugeot 408 is a compact car launched by Dongfeng Peugeot on January 25, 2010, equipped with DPCA's mainstream engines, offering two displacement options: 2.0L and 1.6L. The launch of Peugeot 408 greatly enriched Dongfeng Peugeot's product line in the golden displacement market of 1.6L-2.0L. 2. Power configuration: The maximum power of this CVTS-Ⅱ engine is 108KW/6000rpm, and the maximum torque is 200N.m/4000rpm, which is basically the same as the current 2.0L engine of 307. This engine, named CVTS-Ⅱ, has undergone improvements to some internal components, such as replacing the throttle with a metal one and setting up a cleaning procedure after each shutdown.
The air intake of the Peugeot 408 is located at the front of the vehicle, right behind the front bumper. If you crouch down and look at the bottom front of the car, the square opening behind the middle grille is the air intake. This area is primarily used for the engine to draw in air, so be careful not to let plastic bags or leaves get stuck in it, as this can affect performance. I once saw a completely blocked air intake while washing a car, and that vehicle struggled like it had asthma when accelerating. Remember to have the mechanic check the intake duct during each maintenance service, as this area tends to accumulate dust. If you're replacing the air filter yourself, removing the front bumper will give you a clear view of the entire intake system. The process isn’t too difficult, but be careful not to force the clips. By the way, modified cars often enlarge the air intake to boost performance, but the original factory design is actually the most balanced.
