This listing has been built around the physical item photographs, not the old listing title alone. Please study all images carefully before ordering.
Important Item Details & Specifics
Vehicle & Body-Year Reference
The advertised bracket is 2010-2016. Because the C3 Mk2 underwent styling changes during this period, both body phases are shown for visual reference. Vehicle photographs are identification aids only; the physical part number remains the controlling check.
Exact Fitment Compatibility Guide
| Years | Vehicle | Body Phase | Chassis / Engine | Required Verification |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2010-2012 10-12 |
Citroën C3 Mk2 / C3 II | 5-Door Hatchback — earlier phase | Do not guess from body shape alone | Existing pipe must match 9684362180, connection ends, ports and bracket layout. |
| 2013-2016 13-16 |
Citroën C3 Mk2 / C3 II | 5-Door Hatchback — facelift period | Verify exact vehicle variant / VIN | Source item carries a C.3 2013 marking. Exact 9684362180/photo comparison still required. |
Will Not Fit / Do Not Assume Compatibility
Similar-looking does not mean interchangeable.
- Do not purchase if the pipe removed from your vehicle carries a different principal part number unless compatibility has been independently confirmed.
- C3 Mk1 and C3 Mk3 vehicles are outside the advertised C3 Mk2 2010-2016 listing bracket.
- Do not assume compatibility with C3 Picasso, DS-family, Peugeot or other related vehicles merely because a duct looks visually similar.
- Petrol and diesel variants can use different induction layouts. The donor engine is not proven by the source listing, so this description deliberately does not guess an engine code.
- Modified induction systems, replacement air boxes and altered hose routing may affect compatibility.
- A facelift alone does not prove compatibility or incompatibility. The exact physical part-number and connector layout take priority.
What This Part Actually Does
This is a moulded engine-bay air-intake duct. It forms part of the vehicle's induction airflow path, carrying intake air through a precisely shaped passage while providing moulded connection points, flexible movement at the bellows section and secure mounting geometry.
It is a passive mechanical airflow component, not an electronic control module. Its condition can nevertheless influence how effectively the induction system remains sealed. Splits, distorted ends, damaged branch ports or poor seating can contribute to intake noise, air leakage and driveability or engine-management symptoms depending on the vehicle configuration.

Fitting Guide, Tools & Repair Time
Suggested Tools
- Protective gloves and inspection torch
- Small socket and ratchet set
- Torx bit set where fitted
- Flat trim tool or small flat screwdriver
- Hose-clamp pliers where applicable
- Small extension bar
- Clean lint-free cloth
- Diagnostic scan tool if fault codes require checking
Planning Time
Typical planning allowance: approximately 30-60 minutes.
The labour matrix below uses a midpoint planning figure of 0.75 hour / 45 minutes.
This is not a manufacturer flat-rate time. Access, seized clips, engine layout, additional damaged parts and previous modifications can increase workshop time.
Step-By-Step Installation Overview
- Park safely, switch the ignition fully off, remove the key and allow the engine bay to cool.
- Before dismantling anything, photograph the original pipe, routing, bracket positions and every connected branch hose.
- Remove any engine cover or upper ducting that prevents safe access to the intake pipe.
- Identify the clamps, locking tabs, clips and support bracket securing the existing pipe.
- Release small branch hoses carefully. Do not lever aggressively against aged plastic connectors.
- Release the main connection clamps or retaining clips and any mounting fastener supporting the duct.
- Work the existing pipe away from its mating connections without damaging sealing lips or surrounding wiring.
- Place the removed component beside this replacement and compare the moulded number 9684362180, diameter, branch-port positions, bellows, bracket and overall shape.
- Inspect reusable clamps, seals and mating faces. Replace any separate damaged sealing component before refitting.
- Install the replacement without twisting or stressing it. Ensure every connection is fully seated.
- Refit brackets, clips, clamps, branch hoses and any covers removed for access.
- Start the engine and inspect the installation for unusual intake noise, movement or obvious leakage. Road-test and re-check if appropriate.
This is a general fitting overview for an intake duct and is not a substitute for the manufacturer's workshop procedure for the exact VIN/engine.
