About Air Metering Units

The Citroen air metering unit works by measuring the air flow in the car's air intake system and sending these measurements to the car's ECU which, based on these measurements, will control the amount of fuel flowing into the engine and the point at which the ignition sparks. The Citroen air metering unit essentially controls fuel consumption ensuring the engine is running as efficiently as possible.

An engine needs the correct amount of air and fuel flowing through it in order for the fuel to burn in the cylinders and for the engine to ignite or spark at the right time. If the ignition sparks at the wrong time, there will be less power in the engine and it will try to make up for this by using more fuel, which significantly reduces fuel efficiency, which in turn increases your car's CO2 emissions.

The Citroen air metering unit has an air flow sensor, also called an air flow meter, which works by measuring the air flow and sending these measurements to the ECU. The ECU will then, based on these measurements, control the amount of fuel flowing into the engine and the point at which the ignition sparks.

The Citroen air metering unit will, over time, wear out or stop working. When this happens, the performance of the engine could be affected and consumption of fuel and engine emissions will be higher. A fault in the Citroen air metering unit means the engine will not be working properly or efficiently. A faulty Citroen air metering unit will cause the Check Engine light to show on the dashboard to indicate a malfunction with the Citroen air metering unit.  A broken air metering unit can sometimes prevent a car from idling properly (the ability for a car's engine to run whilst it is not moving) and may cause the engine to splutter and stall. If there is a fault with the Citroen air metering unit, a replacement Citroen air metering unit should be purchased.

Citroen trivia

• The 1934 Citroën 7CV was the first mass-produced car to have front-wheel drive, hydraulic brakes, and real suspension! This basic design found its way into subsequent models right up until three decades later in the mid-1950s.
• Unfortunately, the founder of Citroën went bankrupt in 1934, even though the cars they produced were selling well and incredibly popular. The company exists today because tyre company Michelin bought the majority of shares in the company.
• In 1968, Citroën bought control of the Italian car firm Maserati. That purchase led to the design of the Citroën GT, which came with hydro-pneumatic suspension and a V6 engine. It did well in terms of sales, but production of the last version, the DS23 Pallas Electronique, was stopped in 1975 after the '73 oil crisis.
• In 2019, the Citroën DS was voted in the UK as the 'coolest car ever', with writers and marketers calling it the Brigitte Bardot of cars. In second place was the E-Type Jag…
• The Citroën 2CV Safari had some crazy extra features. It was a four-wheel-drive vehicle, and Citroën decided that four-wheel drive meant that it would be better to have two engines...one at the front and one at the back. The fuel cap sticks out of the driver's door, and the tank was right under the driver's seat!
